Hi Greg,

I haven't looked at this for a while so I'll need to go through the information and see what I can find for you.

I'll post what I have here after I've looked at the documents and talked to my mum.

Cheers,

I am interested in the history of my great grandmother Clara Wey, your grandfather was his younger brother, I think.
My grandmother, Carol George, was the cousin of your dad, you had ever spoken?

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Wey Family

aweycooper — 2011-10-30 04:06:30Z

Clara Wey was the daughter of Herman C. and Jeannette Ambs. Herman (H.C.) owned hardware stores in Kansas and Oklahoma. H.C. Wey Hardware. They lived in Kirwin, Kansas before they moved to Wichita. Their home in Wichita is listed as a historic home. I will be happy to share the information I have on the family with you. HC and Jeannette were my great-grandparents.

Re: Wey Family

aweycooper — 2011-10-30 03:56:48Z

Re: Swiss Weys

amberau1 — 2011-06-30 00:14:52Z

That would make us cousins I suppose - he was my great grandfather also. I can't seem to trace his family back in Muri though. Thanks for the correction with the dates :) It might help.

Re: Swiss Weys

cmandm — 2011-06-15 21:53:16Z

My great grandfather was George Kaspar Wey from Muri. He was born in 1875 and according to family history came to NZ in his late teens, so probably more like 1890.

Re: Wey Family

aweycooper — 2011-05-23 23:15:07Z

I have a large amount of information for the Wey family. I would be happy to share it with you.

Re: Wey Family

aweycooper — 2011-05-23 23:13:20Z

Jeanette Wey was my great-grandmother. Her son, Cecil Carl, was my grandfather. I would love to know more about her family history.

Swiss Weys

amberau1 — 2011-01-30 03:53:14Z

Looking for possible family of George Kaspar Wey emigrated to NZ around 1880, maybe earlier.

Could be from Muri, possibly related to a group of Weys who held a hereditary office in Switzerland.

Re: Harriet A Matlock

richjj_us — 2009-05-23 00:10:50Z

From the obit I have placed below you will see John Henry Wey's birthday was 1871 not 1872, Hariet died in 1872.

I have a question, do you know where Harriet is buried? I found Thomas and his second wife in Union Cemetery in Arrowsmith but not Harriet.

My great great Grandmother Mahalia Matlock was her sister.

Sorry I am no longer researching this line. It is my x boyfriends line. Yes I do know about Richland Center and the cemetery.

Re: Peyton Wey

2006-07-19 02:11:39Z

I have just recently started to follow the Wey line seriously. I too am descended from Mary Eliza Wey and Jesse Toney. Mary and Jesse are my ggreat granparents. Line continues through Toney line: Charley, Clarence Eldon Wilder (known as Eldon), Florence (my mom). Curious how you are related.

The Richland County, Wisconsin Genealogy website indicates Peyton's parents as Henry Wey and Mary ?.

You probably know this but Peyton and Rachel, Jesse and Sarah, along with all of my Toney relatives are buried in Westfork Cemetary near Excelsior, Wisconsin.

Wey family in Illinois

bcsco1 — 2002-05-22 12:17:22Z

I am seeking information on the Wey family in Illinois. Louise Wey, b: 11/8/1842 in Hesse-Cassel Germany, d: 12/26/1914 in Chicago, IL was my great-grandmother. I believe she had a brother, Henry J Wey who also lived in Chicago and was married to Bertha E Harris. I have no dates on either of these people except for a marriage date of 12/24/1892 in Cook County, IL.

Louise Wey was the 2nd wife to Fred Busse, my great-grandfather. She had a son, Fred C. Busse and a daughter Martha who married a Max Weltman. Her husband, Fred, also had a daughter, Sophia Busse from a previous marriage who married one Albert Seagel. From what I can determine, Sophia and Albert had three children; Albert jr, Charles and Emma.

If anyone has information on these families I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. It's been a very tough search.

Sincerely,

Jim Busse
