Thanks for the response.Weyer, with that spelling, is not a common name.I don't have information on your line.I have a fairly complete list of descendants of Benedicht Weyer (the immigrant in my line).He arrived about 1850 from Switzerland.
From the mid-1800s and earlier, alternative spellings need to be considered.I was working on some of my German Palatine lines over the weekend and was amazed again at the variety of spellings -- something I have known for the 30 years I have been doing this.But the number and variety that I came across was mind-boggling.
