Great Grandparents:
Marco Leo
Weschler 1844 - 1894
| his parents
& ca 1872 Annetta Juster 1854 - 1898
| her
parents
of Austria, France, Egypt, Argentina
and New York City
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it
as of this moment!!
Marco Leo Weschler married in Alexandria, Egypt
ca 1872 Anna Juster.
Marco Leo Weschler was born 17 Aug. 1844 in Austria son
of Charles Weschler.
He served as a cousul [aide?] of the government of the Austrian prince in
Marseilles, France; Alexandria, Egypt; Buenos Aires, Argentina and New
York City.
The family arrived in New York City 11 June 1879
On the passenger list of the "Labrador" and in the 1880
census he lists his occupation as tailor.
He was Naturalized on 19 Sept 1887 at Common Pleas Ct, New York County. [bundle
617, record #122, former nationality German, date of arrival 1 May 1877].
His address given as 265 Ave A NYC
He died 16
Apr. 1894 in New York City. [Death Certificate # 13099]
Anna Juster was born 18 July 1854 in Austria. Her
family lived in Egypt.
I find her name as Annetta on the passenger list in 1879 and as Joanna in
the 1880 census.
She died in New York City 16 Nov. 1898 per family records.
[Death Certificate # 30546 dated 27 Oct
