Parents: William Gottfried Weissinger and Anna Elise Rohje (In German, the letter J has a Y sound, which causes some confusion. On their marriage document, Dec 27, 1871, her maiden name is definitely spelled ROHJE).
William Galloway Weissinger's given name was: Wilhelm Gottfried Weissinger, Jr.
His Parents were: Wilhelm Gottfried Weissinger, Sr. and his Mother was: Anna Elise Rohje.
We realize that he "Americanized" both his first and second name when he Registered for World War I. And we acknowledge that his first name is written as: WILLIAM, rather than Wilhelm on his headstone.
But according to our Family Bible Records, he was named after his Father, thus making him a Junior.
1st Husband of Elizabeth M. Olliges.
