Re: Weigner
It's actually "Weinger," which I imagine would be pronounced something like "WINE-ger" in English.Here's what Ancestry.com has to say:
"Jewish (Ashkenazic): of uncertain origin, perhaps an altered form of Weingart (see Weingarten)."Rusty Shackleford is my real identity. My name is not Katie.

If it's German, it's Weigner as you can see at tinyurl.com/y8w6ovaw. Weinger is a Jewish name and there's nobody listed by that name in Germany at the present time.
