Need your help.  An old family story said that two brothers came to America.  Charles and ???????.  Does anyone know who the other brother was?  Are there any links to Charles and Gabriel Neisz of Kentucky?  Has anyone found out where Charles came into America.  What port or ship.  Any info is greatly appreciated and any info I have can be sent to your for just asking about anyone in my files.  Thanks!!

Records indicate that Charles Neisz was the son of William Neisz and mother Margaret ?.  After Helena died, Charles married again to Barbar Hulcher AmrheinAll of Charles' children were from the marriage to Helena.  Records indicate 13 children:

John Andrew Neisz  born 18 april 1856
Margaretha Catherina Neisz  born 11 Dec 1856 and died abt 1924
John Peter Neisz  born Apr 1858 and died 27 Jun 1858
Helena Neisz  born 17 Apr 1859  Married George Wurach
Charles Neisz Jr  born 15 Feb 1861 and died 10 Apr 1928  Married Eleanor Agnes Vonderlehr
Benjamin F. Neisz  born May 1864 and died 9 Apr 1949
Joseph F. Neisz  born 2 Feb 1868 and died 16 Sept 1902  Married Ida Florence Cave and
Mildred Annie Harris
Frank J. Neisz

Phillip Lee Neisz  born abt 1872 and died 6 Apr 1914  Married Martha Jennie Smith
Minnie L. Neisz  born 9 Feb 1874  Married William H. Wyatt Jr.
unnamed Neisz  born 2 Mar 1876 and died 3 Mar 1876
Ida May Neisz  born 6 Feb 1877 and death unknown  Married William H. Wyatt Jr.
William Leroy Neisz  born 25 Aug 1879 and died 12 Dec 1894

All of the about children were born in Virginia.

The two sisters-Minnie L. Neisz and Ida May Neisz married the same man William H. Wyatt Jr.  A family story my mother handed down claims that this Wyatt family had kinship to a Wyatt that was once Governor of Virginia.   This would have been Sir Francis Wyatt of the early 1600's.  Some marginial proof of this exists but not enough to claim kinship.  Any info in this area would be appreciated.
