Could Bertie be a nick name? Do you know where her parents are buried? Bertie may be buried there also. Have you located Henry and Catherine Weiss obituaries? Maybe Bertie was a GRANDCHILD of Henry and Catherine Weiss. Catherine was 54 years old in 1880. There is a 7 year age difference between Emma and Bertie. If you look at the 1860 census the children are about 2 years apart. On the ancestry.com index for 1870 census the family is indexed as Theiss instead of Weiss. I submitted a correction. Again the kids are about 2 years apart. Kathie Mirabella In a message dated 10/16/2009 2:13:53 A.M.

She is listed on the 1880 Census in Brighton Townships as the 8 year old daughter of Henry and Catherine WEISS. Emma Jane WEISS appears on the same census as a 15 year old daughter. However, Emma Jane's obit states she was the youngest child of Henry and Catherine. Any info on Bertie would be appreciated!
