Scottish Branch of Weierter family
I am a physics teacher, now an assistant head teacher, age 52, and live near Edinburgh where my family settled last century.I have a brother, age 61, Frederick Alexander Weierter, also a physics teacher, now retired.
We both have daughters with physics degrees and I have another who is studying biology at university.With only these three daughters it looks like the name will die out in Scotland.

There were two brothers and a sister.My great grandfather was Frederick Anthony Louis Weierter.The two brothers were sent to England to escape the unification of Germanyunder Bismark.Fred joined the British army as a bandsman and eventually settled in Edinburgh.His brother Charles went to the USA and joined the army there.
