SOME EUROPEAN COUSINS

    There are cousins remaining in Europe that, though they carry the family name Weigang, do not share known ancestors of August Emil Fritz Weigang carrying the surname Weigang.  Rather, they share the known ancestors with the surname Lauffer, starting with the ancestor Joannes Stephanus Lauffer.  Their line of descent proceeds from the family of the daughter Maria Lauffer Jestel (while the Texas Weigang's line proceeds from the family of the son Joseph Stephanus Lauffer).

    There are still more cousins who have made themselves known.   Their line of descent prodeeds from the family of Johann Georg Simon through the granddaughter, Anna Maria Susanna Simon Prause, daughter of Johann Michael Simon.  (The Texas Weigang's line proceeds through another grandaughter of Johann Georg, Theresia Simon(in) Lauffer, the sister of Anna Maria Susanna)
