Henrietta (Neicam) Weill was born in/near Alsace-Lorraine in 1854. She was married to Ernest A. Weill I (also born in/near Alsace-Lorraine around 1860) and they emigrated to the U.S. together. I do not have a picture of EAW that I know of, but I do have one of Henrietta.

Henrietta is the mother of Ernest A. Weill II, Anna (Weill) Johnston, Lawrence Weill, and Joseph Weill. She also had a little boy Henry who died in childhood. She passed away in 1938. Ernest died in 1900 visiting back in Alsace-Lorraine. I have no parent info for EAWI. EDIT: According to my Uncle Larry, EAWI father was named August. Will have to do more research on that one!

Both of the headstone pics and some of the accompanying info was found on
findagrave.com which has really a lot of our family catalogued there.
Also, I'm wondering if a flickr account isn't in order since I have SO many documents and pictures to share with you all. Your thoughts on the matter, please?
