Searching for Weissinger ancestors in Germany

To piece the ancestry of George together, we have: an 1828 Letter written to "Uncle" in Marion, Perry County AL from "your Obedient Nephew" John Weissinger. This nephew, who was writing from Charleston, tells us he was the son of Jacob, George's brother, and goes on to tell us much news of various relatives. Most of it corresponds with what other sources tell us about the siblings of our George.

Some years ago, I received a Weissinger booklet from my father's first cousin, Horace Weissinger, Birmingham (he even remembered my grandmother!) who had found a Genealogical listing for a "Johannes" who was born in Weilheim in 1758, and whose dates of birth, death, and "gone to America" fit with what we knew of George's brother John Weissinger.

This listing was done in January, 1965 by Helmuth Maier, who, I gather, did German searches. It was done originally at the behest (and expense!) of Dr. James Petty, Oklahoma.

In 1992, at the Charleston Historical Society, I found a copy of a Bible page for John Weissinger and his wife Magdalena, which corresponded with tombstones in the Lutheran Cemetery ( which also included Leonard, "third son" below, and other children) in Charleston.

In 1870, John's only surviving son Leonard, willed to his Weissinger cousins (all sons of George and Winnifred) his entire estate; mention was also made of his Faber nephews. All of this, pieced together is what convinced me that "Rich Uncle Leonard" (what Else would You call him?):

• was the son of John (b 1758), and
• was convinced that sons of George were his Weissinger cousins;
• had a sister who married a Faber
• had a cousin John in Midway SC (nephew John, author of the 1828 letter).

If you take all of the above, and compare/contrast with the information at WorldConnect, I think we've gotten a match for our George
