Classification: Query
Surnames: Frei/Meinen/Weiss
I am looking for information on the following Weiss/Frei/Meinen family members if anyone is willing to share.

My Grandparents:
John Jacob Everett Weiss b.1920 d.1946 (WWII)m. Jean M. Tatu
Father:Lorren F. Weiss b.1889-Wisconsin d.1975-Wisconsin
Mother:Eda (Frei)Weiss b.1888-? d.1973-Wisconsin
Lorren & Eda also had another son Kenneth b. and d. 1926
and three daughters Eudoris, Juanita, and Enola.

Lorren's Father:Jacob Weiss b.? d.? m.1863-Wisconsin to Priscilla(Small)Weiss b.1857-Ohio d.1937?-Wisconsin. Her parents were Sara Ann Stuart & Levi Small both born in Ohio and died in Wisconsin. I have no other info. on Jacob or his parents. Jacob & Priscilla also had one daughter and her name was Laura.

Eda's Father:John (Albert) Frei b.1860-near Bern, Switzerland d.1948-Wisconsin(first name was Albert, but was given the name John at Ellis Island since his English was poor and was not understood) m. 1886 in Ohio to Eliza(Elizabeth)Meinen b.1865 Bern,Switzerland d.1949 in Wisconsin They also had a son named Arnold, but I do not know if there were other siblings.

"Albert's" father was Henry Frei. I have no information on him other than he was from Switzerland.

Eliza's parents were John or Johannes Meinen b.1840-Speiz,Bern,SWI d.1908-Wisconsin & Elizabeth (Lehmann)Meinen b.1840-Eggiwil,Bern,SWI d.1924?-Wisconsin

I am extremely interested in info on John"Albert" Frei and Jacob Weiss, but would love to add info on all family memebrs to my database. Thanks to anyone able to share.
