Posey County Indiana: Looking for info on George Hertel who married Mary Elizabeth Weiss. George was born abt. 1851. I am looking for more on him and his family. There is a rumor that he may have been openly adopted into the Hertel family--his sister having married a Hertel and him having been orphaned by his parents death. He may have actually been a Jost. This is just a rumor. He died 1/27/1926. Mary Elizabeth Weiss (wife) was born abt. 1858--died 1/12/1944. More info on her and her family is likewise desired. It is thought that George had a brother Sebastian. George is a man with no beginning and I hope to close the loop. Any help would be most appreciated!
