000113 1250 I am new to this list to search the name of WEINREICH (WEINREIS once in the U.S. for a generation or two). I'm not totally certain of the first name, but perhaps JOSEPH. They came from Southern Germany (Probably Bayern) somewhere mid to late middle 1800s. Any information would be very much appreciated. My grandfather, born in Wisconsin and raised in this country changed his name to PETER WEINRIES no longer using WEINREICH, although he grew up with WEINREICH. His family moved to South Dakota in the late 1800s and he was a homesteader in North Dakota, beginning in 1906. Much of this recent history is in my grandmother's book, "A Note On The Teakettle!" WEINREICHs were Catholic when they came to this country. Thanks for any help you can give. John Schmeling
