Allweiss - Schiller and Frasard - King Genealogy

January 2009 UPDATE!  Welcome, my name is Patty Frasard Allweiss.  Many Allweis/Allweiss cousins have registered to visit this family website.  As a result of Adam McKinney’s (grandson of William Schacter and Sophie Allweiss) recent visit to England, Allweis/Allweiss interest in the site has grown dramatically.   Many additions and corrections have been added. Thanks to Adam for spreading the word about this website!!! 

What’s New on the BLOG! Check on the Frasard/Fresard site to see the family crest.  Also see the recently added Catholic church photos of Fougerolles, Haute Saone, France.  (This was the home of Francis Joseph Fresard and Marie-Therese Durpoix in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s before they immigrated to Grosse Pointe, Michigan in 1833.)

       Also on the blog check on the Allweiss link to see old photos of family members.  Thank you to Martin Peter Allweis, (son of Joshua/Jack/Shier Allweis and Iris Moscoe), for the photo of Abraham and Itta Allweis’ 50^th Anniversary from 1925.  Included in the photo are all of their children and the spouses.  Hundreds if not thousands of ‘cousins’ will find their great or great-great grandmother or grandfather in this photo.   Also included is a copy of the original 50^th anniversary invitiation.  One of the earliest photos of an Allweis family (1915) is that provided by Stuart Russell, son of Joe Russell (Rosenthal) and Bella Allweis.

     If you have information you would like to share or want me to correct information, please contact me at patty@hoa.org.  Remember to try alternate spellings of names as there are 18 different variations of the name FRESARD and 11 different spellings of the name ALLWEISS.   On the SCHILLER and ALLWEISS sides you’ll find doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, educators, and holocaust survivors.  On the FRASARD/FRESARD you’ll find early land-owners of Grosse Pointe and L’anse Creuse (later to become St. Clair Shores), Michigan.  On the KING/ROY/ROI line you’ll find early settlers to Quebec in the 1600’s who were ‘Carignan Sallieres’ (Soldiers of the King), and ‘Filles du Roi’ (Daughters of the King).
