Schweiger

It looks like the SCHWEIGER family was originally from western Bayern before migrating further west into Baden. Well, maybe not all of them, but at least one of the SCHWEIGERs (Johann) made the move in the 17th century.

Schweiger

The SCHWEIGER family has been traced to Herbolzheim, Baden. Additionally, it appears that one record mentions the nearby town of Ödheim (Oedheim), so more microfilm may have to be ordered.
