@jdelmas jdelmas​ Hello. Sorry it has taken awhile for me to get back to you.

 

I was not able to find any records in Germany for your father Henry Weingartner, ID L66F-2F5. I suggest that you post your question with the community for German Genealogy Research at this link:

 

https://community.familysearch.org/s/group/0F93A000000LhYOSA0/germany-genealogy-research

 

I hope they will be able to help you find German records.

 

I did find records that he had another wife previous to Alberta Lamb, but you probably knew that part since you were looking for information previous to him being in the USA. If you'd like help with the USA part of his life, feel free to message me.

 

Enjoy your family history journey!
