The Weicht Family Genealogy

Note from the author:
Herr Ernst Hetzel who traced the Weicht family in Germany for me,
suggested that research be done on the maternal side (Eccard)
of my ancestor.

I am pleased to say the results were beyond my expectations. The
Eccard family is an old and distinguished one. Records were kept
in the church books back ten generations to 1580.

He was also able to send me another maternal side (Roesch) of my
ancestors. Records not quite so complete, but dating to 1528.

Since all who receive the family genealogy are descendants of this
couple, I am happy to include these records along with the Weicht family.
