Hello! Welcome to The Weiss Family of Macoupin County, Illinois website! I set this site up to make it easy to share my research progress with my Weiss cousins. I have been researching my family history since about 1999 and have learned a lot about my Weiss ancestors but there is always more to learn.
This site deals the the family of Henry Weiss and Catherine Holton Weiss, who settled in Macoupin County sometime in the 1850s. Just to make things interesting, this is one of two Henry Weiss families who settled in Macoupin County at that time. My Henry Weiss was born in Pennsylavia, and married Catherine Holton in Salem County, New Jersey. The other Henry Weiss immigrated to the US from Europe! One of the puzzles I have been working on for several years is trying to determine the parents of both Henry Weiss and Catherine Holton.
As I make interesting finds, or come across questions I can’t answer, I will post here on the blog. If you have answers, or can add details, be sure to contact me. And if you are a cousin wanting to know more about your Weiss family, I will help you out if I can. Just ask!
