Jacob WEISS 1847 - 1939 | his parents
& ca 1871 Anna HARTMAN 1850 - 1920 | her parents
of Bohemia 
and New York City

This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 

  Jacob Weiss married Anna Hartman.

   Jacob Weiss was born 5 May 1847 in Steingrube, Bohemia son of Leopold Weiss and his wife Babet/Barbara Gans.  Family emigrated 1855.  
In 1900 he listed his occupation as cigar manufacturer. [Adele says she thought he ran a bar. 
     Adele also says, "His children did not care very much for him because he did not treat his wife very nicely."] 
  Jacob Weiss died in 1939 in New York City.

   Anna Hartman was born 18 April 1852 (or 21 March, 1850-Joan) [1900 census says April 1851] in Bieschin, Bohemia.  [1900 census says Anna emigrated in 1860.] She died 1920 in New York City. They were buried in a cemetery on Long Island.
