Our Weiss connection is
through Rosalia "Sarah" Weisz, who
married Emanuel Deutsch. They were married and resided in Miskolc, Hungary.
Most of their children immigrated to the United States. My start in the
family genealogical research came from a sheet of paper that listed the
Deutsch/Weiss family tree as known by Joseph Deutsch and told to his son,
Arthur. I have been able to verify most of the information from Miskolc
Jewish birth/marriage records at the Mormon Church. After Emanuel died in Hungary, Sarah came to the U.S. with a daughter and granddaughter. The Weiss side is more difficult to trace, as Weiss is a common Jewish name in Hungary, which means "light-skinned". The spelling of Weiss in Hungary appears to change to "Weisz" after 1875. |
