I am searching for death of Leonard Thomas Weisensee Born 7 Dec 1897 (Baptism), but list in draft card as Nov 1899. Not buried with wife in CT who pre-deceased him. Not buried with Father in NY who predeceased him (Lutheran Cem Queens) nor with Mother (Oakland Cem Yonkers). Not in either nearby brooklyn and yonkers cemeteries. Can't find in 1930 census (I have earlier census records), but found son same name (1925) at NY Foundling Hosp. Mother lived in Yonkers (Emma Weisensee). WWI Veteran, drafted Sep 1917 (I have draft card). Still awaiting military records. No SSN Card applied for found by SSA. His Brothers obituary (1940) lists siblings, but not Leonard. Likewise his Mothers obituary (1944). Wife had no obituary (1932) New London St Mary's. Not the same as Hobart Leonard Weisensee. Born Kings, lived in Yonkers and Bronx. I have searched Yonkers Archives online, Ancestry, LDS, Roots, etc. I have contacted all living cousins, children (fostered with illness of Mom). Pls Find!

I'm starting to get sleepy but just spent the last 3 hours searching for your family. I covered almost all the areas you did with several variations.
If there is a possiblity your family came from Poland there's a website that offers marriage information. I'm thinking your spelling is a variation of Wisniewski and thought you might be interested in checking out:

Good luck and sorry I couldn't get you more useful information

Update- I came across a few Leonard Weisensee's living in different areas of Rhode Island, perhaps his son, but seems there was a possibility of 2 different Leonard's living at 2 different addresses around the same time frame.

Other possibilities: Name change, Missing person, Never applied for a social security card, jail (?), died as a John Doe.
I've become quite curious as to what happened to him. More open questions: How did his wife die and when? Why were his children left in the hospital?
If you do uncover this mystery, I'd like to know what happened, meanwhile I'll keep searching.

It sounds like you have done a very thorough search. Have you done searches using soundex codes and variant spellings, as well as initials for the first names?
Try the state vital statistics bureaus for NY and CT (and possibly other states) and see if there is a death certificate. He may be buried in one of the places you mention but his grave may not have been marked (or he may have been cremated).
Also, check counties he is known to have lived in at the last record of him and see if he left a will or if his estate was probated (two different record groups, by the way)
