Notes for Franciscus (Frank F) Weiss:
   Frank Weiss' social security application (dated December 28, 1950) was assigned # 476-34-3025. He lists his name as Frank F. Weiss, with parents Joseph Weiss and Theresa Halbauer. He gives his birth date as March 20, 1889 and birth location as Rasimir or Kasimir, Austria (the first letter of the name of the city has stamped text obliterating part of it). He lists 607 Edmund Ave, St. Paul, MN as his current address and the Church of St Agnes as his current employer. He indicates he was 61 on his last birthday (which is consistent with his claimed birth date and the application date).
   Subsequent research reveals his birthplace was Albértkázmérpuszta, Austria-Hungary, known as Albertkasimir or Kasimir for short. Kasimir was a communal farm settlement associated with the town of Féltorony, Hungary, which is where Frank's father, Joseph Weiss, was born.

Notes for Margaret Spohn:
1) Margaret Spohn was adopted by the Peter Spohn family. She was an orphan from New York who came west on an "orphan train." The legend is that they loaded the train in New York, headed west, and offered the children for adoption at every stop; each child continued westward until adopted.
2) Margaret walked out on Frank and the children when the children were still young. She never returned. The story is that Frank came home one day to find that Margaret had packed her bags and left. Frank raised their two children.
