Frank L.G. Weiss + Helen Margaret Beck

Frank and Helen married at St. John the Baptist, Burlington, Iowa. There is a beautiful letter written by her father and addressed to Frank. It welcomed Frank to the family and expressed Henry Beck’s admiration for his prospective son-in-law.

Hungary

Parents of Frank L.G. Weiss
Grandparents of Carol Anita Weiss

Lorenz and Anna married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, St. Louis, Missouri. Both were immigrants. Lorenz was from Weisskirchen, Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire. In records where he is asked about his native place, he says “Weisskirchen” or “Hungary” or “Austria.”

Jacob Weiss + Magdalena Auer

Hungary

Parents of Lorenz Weiss
Great grandparents of Carol Anita Weiss

Two of the sons of Jacob and Magdalena named them on applications for Social Security cards. That is the only evidence I have that they were a married couple. It is likely they never came to America.
