Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 1 Send Message	My maternal grandmother was Gertrude Helen Weicht born in Sheffield, 1901. The family came from a man who arrived in London in the late 1700's called Gottleib Weicht and we know he came from Eastern Europe, possibly a Czech. The male line went like this: Gottleib Weicht, Julius Weicht, then Francis Phillip Weicht and Francis Hobart Weicht. The latter, my great grandfather changed the family names of the males to WEIGHT to avoid a German sounding name in the 1900's. I am looking for decendents of the Weichts, some of whom may be called WEIGHT now.
