Subject: Koberstein - Wiesner
Message: Henry W. Koberstein married Mary Elizabeth Wiesner in Waynesboro, PA on 23 Jun 1883. Mary was the daughter of Philip Wiesner and Mary Catherine Zook. I'm looking for any information on who Henry was and any children they may have had. The only other clue I have at this time is that my grandmother recalled visiting Koberstein "cousins" in the Chicago area soon after she married in 1912 and my dad thinks they may have had a son named Bernie. This is not my direct line, but I am trying to fill in the Wiesner line descendants. Any help or clues are greatly appreciated.
