Brigitte, Thank you for your reply. I believe I have run into that family in Washington County, Pennsylvania before, but I don't think they are related. My Wises (Weiss's) came from Oberlustadt, Pfalz in Germany, settled initially in Montgomery County (just outside Philadelphia), then to Chester County, and then York County in Pennsylvania, and then from there to Belmont County. The John in that family was my great-great grandfather. Darmstadt and Oberlustadt are not that close to each other in Germany. I'm guessing about 60 to 70 miles apart. I wrote a chapter in my family history book about the Wises and it is online at _http://www.neilelvick.com/chap_11.htm_ (http://www.neilelvick.com/chap_11.htm) Neil Elvick In a message dated 4/22/2007 8:41:33 P.M.

Thank you Neil. I will check out your website and read what you have written. Good luck in finding more family, it's definitely addictive! If you have anyone interested in my line, just send them my way and I'll do the same for you. Have a good week, Brigitte Evens -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 1:44 AM Subject: Re: [WISE] Wise family of Belmont County Ohio Brigitte, Thank you for your reply.
