Thank you Penny for the response to my WEISS request. The only thing I know so far is that Great X's2 grandfather was Joseph WEISS, born abt 1850. in Germany, where in Germany I do not know, he married a Catherine, I know nothing about her. They had at least 4 children that I know of Joseph born Aug 1880 in New York City, New York died in the Bronx. This is my great grandfather, John, George, and Lou were his brothers. Joseph b; 1880 was married to CAtherine Caroline Foorhs, who was an orphan born about 1899 in New York. I know nothing more of her. They lived in the Bronx. They had the following children Ruth b: 1901 d:1975 New York, Frank B: 1904 d: 1955, Margrette b: 1910 d: 1988, and My grandmother Dorothea Viola b:1912 d: 1993. Does any of these family members of mine sound familiar to anyone searching the WEISS name I could surely use your help. Kathy
