I am looking for ANY information on the elusive Weise family branch.
My great grandfather was Walter Henry Weise. He was born in Zachary, LA late 1800s.
His mother was Elizabeth Anastasia Shaw. I know NOTHING of her origins.
His father was Joseph Clarence Weise. Walter also had a brother by the name of
Joseph D. Weise, who was born, lived and died in Zachary, LA. The main problem with
this branch is the fact that Walter, his father and his brother all spelled their surname
differently. Joseph D. even spelled it 2 different ways himself. In my great grandfather's
marriage certificate to Ettie Lelia Roberts, 11/1904, he spells it Weise, his father spells it
Weisse. At the same time his brother was spelling it Weis! Any ideas, suggestions?
