Mmm. Wasn't your Kathleen born in Ireland??
The Catherine on the 1930 census gives her birthplace as Iowa?

Hi fellow Hunters,
I wonder if anyone would kindly look up some info for me about Otto and Catherine (or Kathleen) Weiss nee Kearney, in US records.
As far as I am aware, they are the only ancesters that emigrated to America.
Catherine b 1895 in Castlebar, Mayo married Otto Weiss b 1893, a US naval man, in Liverpool 1919,
they then went to live in Chicargo, Cook, Illinois, where they were found on the 1920 census. And that is all I know.
Were there any children from this marriage and when did Otto and Catherin (Kathleen die.
I'm sorry if this is a lot to ask.
Regards.
Ann
