Hi, Your Weis family is of interest to me. My Wiese family came to America in the 1830's. Ferdinand and Gertrude were their names. I have another family that I don't believe to be related: Mary Louise Weiss (1850-1892). She was born in OH, died in Huntington Co, IN. and lived in Shelby Co. OH Her name has also been spelled WYSS. See any connections with above mentioned?
