Hi Mathew,
Here is just a family story, but it might explain Why the name was changed to WILSON.....when our gggreat grandfather Frederick Welzein came from Germany, he was convinced by his neighbors that his last name in American was WILSON...so I am having trouble locating some members because of the amount of WILSON's there are...I noticed the WELZEINs are the only WILSONs on the census who have parents born in Germany...most WILSONs are born in England!! :o)
