Wirth/Weisinger
My grandparents were from Bavaria. William Wirth b 16 Jan 1881 d 4 May 1959, married Barbara Weisinger b 4 Mar 1883 d 8 Nov 1950. They had 2 daughters born in Germany. Wilhelmine Wirth b: 27 Dec 1902 and Marie Wirth b 16 Nov 1903.
They left Germany in late 1905 early 1906. I don't know how long it would take to get to America from Germany. A third
daughter was b 5 May 1906 and the 1910 census from Baltimore Md says that she was born in MD, so that means they landed
some time before May 5, 1906. They either left Wilhelmine in Germany, or she was living with someone else because she isn't listed with this family in the 1910 or the 1920 census.
The odd part is that I found him at Ellis Island leaving Bremen to US on July 2, 1923, listed as American Citizen, and also listed was Wilhelmine Wirth. I surmised that she was left behind and he went back to get her in 1923.
I would love to be able to track these Wirth and Weisinger ancestors.
