Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11427 Surname: Fritzinger, Weir ------------------------- VanBuren County Iowa. Dear Mr. Jones, it is quite posible that there is a connection between your Emma Belle Weir and Jacob Fritzinger's second wife Mary Catherine Weir. However, there is a significant differance in their birth dates, which makes it unusual. Mary Catherine was born Nov. 8th 1844 and your Emma was born 19 yrs. later. -which could be posible. Mary was md. 7/5/1880 and died 10/19/1884 in IA. She had two sons. she is buried in the White Cem. in Bonaparte. I'm not sure where to tell you to search. However, If you do find a connection I would be very pleased to know about it. All the info I got on Mary Catherine was from the VanBuren County obituary Forum Web Site. Thanks very much for your response. Bud Burge
