I’m not sure, it’s from one of my dads emails to me yesterday. Friedrich was my dad’s dad’s mom’s mom’s mom’s father. Findagrave has a slightly different obit so I guess different newspapers covered his death? Massive tree stump headstone too. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117747189/friedrich-weyer quote:He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and was well and favorable known in this city where he has many friends.

Oracle posted:German records you at least have the father's name and sponsors in baptismal records back to the late 16-early 1700s (places hit hard by WWII/awarded to Poland possibly excepted) Yeah we can’t go further than the GGG-grandpa who immigrated through Canada around 1850 and then got citizenship in Indiana a couple years after that. From Pomerania. Thanks Red Army.

Wow. Consider my dad emailed! That range really goes right up against when GGG-grandpa came over (Gottlieb>Heinrich>Godfrey>Reuel>Dad>me). I wonder if he already knew about this website or something similar cuz I remember he told me some document listed Gottlieb’s father-in-law’s name being Bogislav, and Gottlieb left for Canada in 1851.
