Surnames: Weber/ Schmitz/Mertes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jEC.2ACE/433.1 Message Board Post: Hi, we are trying to connect a Weber and Schmitz. My ancestor was Anna Marie Weber (married Antone Mertes)The only connection we have to her family is that she had a sister who married a Schmitz. Also, a Jacob Weber sold them their land in 1850. Have you heard of Jacob or Anna's sister?? Thanks for your help.
