Dear Jonah,
I have been trying to contact your branch of the Weiland family to tell them that our Mom, Marian Weiland Block Abrams, died on Friday. She was 93, and one of the last Weilands of her generation. Her dad (our Gramps) was Louis Weiland, the eldest of the Weiland children. Her obituary is below. I wonder if you could please let your family know.
Because of the many questions that arose at the funeral, I have made a Word document of the descendants of the Samuel Weiland and Regina Grossman. Please let me know if any of you would like me to email it to you.
Thanks so much.
– Becky Block
