Weis-1 and Weiss-1239 appear to represent the same person because: These have same parents; same wife; same death info; birth dates diverge but one is clearly an estimate

Jones (1985) points to one record for Melchior bpt Apr. 28 1661 (p. 1097). And the name he shows is Wies. This is a fairly consistent spelling. A few more adjustments are benefited by this merge

Is Wies a typo? Did you mean Weis?

I’m going to stick with Wies. That’s the spelling in Jones (p. 1096-7). I point out that Coons says “Wis or Wies” (p. 287). Perhaps more important is #3593 in Hoes, or the Subsistence List entry for Melchior (Knittle 290 - but not Simmendinger? See 299).

Looks like the LNAB's will all need to be changed. In terms of pronunciation, big difference between Weis and Wies.
