Looking for any information on a Weske family and possible link to a Julius Weske who made shoes for the Catholic Church in late 1800's and early 1900's. He was from Milwaukee County and married Anna Christina Mueller in late 1800's. They may have later moved to Chicago.

"Looking for any information on a Weske family and possible link to a Julius Weske ... He was from Milwaukee County and married Anna Christina Mueller in late 1800's ..."

There's a respectable list of Weske entries in my index "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950). There are about 50 occurrences of the name including references to the surnames: Becker Proechel Proechl Firnhaber Hassinger Klug
