Tiffany, I may have a connection for you. I have a Raymond WISE born to William H. WISE and Mary ESSIG, no dates or places are given, but William's parents are Alexander WISE and Phoebe WISE (cousins). William was b 10 Jul 1859 and Mary was born Aug 15, 1857 no place of birth or deaths are given. but Raymond is shown as the third child so the time frame may be right for this to be your Raymond. His siblings are Ruth E. Wise and Harry Alexander Wise. I you can place Raymond with these people it is your Raymond and your Wise research is done back into Germany in the 1600's. Ruth
