For research and for a location mailing list you should go to http://users.rootsweb.com/~deuhes/Hessen/index.htm and scroll down to the flag logo for Thüringen. That is where Greiz is. It is right on the border with Sachsen. Select the mailing list for Thüringen and post your inquiry there, or perhaps on the Sachsen list. You can find any mailing list at http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist, location or surname. ;~) Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald Weiss <[email protected]> WEISS, Charles (Carl) Heman; 1860 -1924 WEISS, Eric Christian, born about 1840 Saxony (?Greitz)1874 > Norfolk Co., Virginia, USA
