Help! I am searching for any information about my great-great-great grandfather, Georg Friedrich Weckherlin and also my great grandfather, Andreas (Andrew) Weckherlin. Georg moved to Hermann, MO. in 1850 from Wurttemburg, Germany. Obviously he was one of the 48ers. He was a lieutenant in the army in Germany in Ludwigsburg and later a captain in the union army in St. Louis. Benton Hussars. After that I have no idea what happened to him. Andreas just disappeared. It is said he drowned in the Mississippi River. He was from St. Louis too. He had a son, Frederick Andrew Weckherlin (my grandfather) in 1896. I would really like to know something about my great grandfather so if you know something, pleaae write me or tell me where I could find some information. Thanks! Frederick Andrew
