Much Weirich family information found in Standard History of Sauk County Wisconsin available at the State of Wisconsin Historical Society Musuem in Madison, WI under F587 S2 S42 2000 V2 with a separate index.I am not related as far as I know.By a coincidence I found this post at a time I was using the book for other research and I know of someone else seeking Weirich research.There is a section about George Weirich which has much info., another section on Louis, as son of George.Part of George's info. is that he was born in Baden October 1, 1833, a son of Peter and Anna Maria (Treiber) Weirich.The family came to Wisconsin in August 1849 and lived about two years in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but in 1849 Peter Weirich had made a trip to Sauk County and had located a homestaed in Sumpter Township. It mentions that he was accidentally killed by a runaway team in 2/1862.It mentions his wife and children, but says that only Lottie was born in this country (in Kenosha).There is much more in this book. I hope this helps.
