Henry, Hello. This is wonderful. My Heinrich Weller was born 11 October, 1818. He married to Minna Haas. Both were from Germany. His gravestone has his picture on it and the words are written in old German Dutch (Sutterlin) Anything you might find about him would be wonderful.

My DECHERT ancestor arrived in NY in June 1849 giving Vadenrod as his origin. I have "750 Years of Vadenrod" by Heinrich Wahl. It is not indexed but given a year of birth or departure, for example, I can quickly scan it for Heinrich WELLER.
