My feelings are that in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors, to put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the  family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe.  All tribes have one. We have been called as it were by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story!  So, we do.  In finding them, we somehow find ourselves ...."

Notes with documentation (blue links)
.
JACOB (YAAKOV YITZCHAK) WEISS

(probable brother of Solomon & David Weiss)
Yakov Yitzchak Weiss (abbreviated: YY Weiss) was maried to Esther Mandel
YY Weiss died circa 1912-1914 in Europe. His Weiss children (immigrated to America from Galicia). 
They are:
Leibish -- living descendant
Lois Wassner (female), Samuel (perhaps aka: Simon, shipnanifest, Samuel&ClaraWeissFamily-1930USCensus),
Rose, Solomon, Josef and Morris (later settled in Scranton, PA -- see circled in red Sadie Weiss Bergold letter)

MOSES AARON WEISS
(probable brother of Solomon & David Weiss)
from Marissa:
Lenny (Leonard J. Weiss, son of Shlomo Weiss of New York) told me to check out the New Montifiore Cemetery and look at their family plot for additional names. I saw a Morris Weiss buried there. He died in 1931. I went to the Municipal archives and I got Morris Aaron Weiss 1931 death certificate and his father was Benjamin Weiss (same as on Solomon Wreiss of New York and David Weiss of Tennessee death certificates).  His mother was listed as Sarah Werner (so now there are three names for Benjamin Weiss’s wife - Gitel, Channa Werner and Sara Werner…not sure if she had three names or if he married three times...) When Morris came to America, he said he was last living with his sister Rosa Mandel in Szczawne, south of Sanok.  Moses was married to Bertha Scherer. Their daughter Esther arrived in America and was living at 87 South 1st Street (the address of great grandpa Solomon Weiss) when she married Morris Katz in 1912.

MILTON MANDEL
Milton's mother was probably Rose Weiss (a sister of my greatgrandfather Solomon Weiss) and father Chaim Mandel of Galicia Austria -- see: Milton Mandel marriage certificate
He was also probably a nephew of Solomon & David Weiss.
(see Belva Weiss note re: Milton Mandel and Milton Mandel marriage certificate). 
Belva Weiss mentioned (see: Belva Weiss note re: Milton Mandel) a nephew Milton Mandel. Lenny (Weiss) also mentioned a Milton Mandel cousin, additionally, he said that Milton had a brother named Solomon (married to Reisela) and Milton married Fritzie and had children Joan and Harvey. Based on that Marissa figured out Milton’s tree.
His mother was Rose Weiss and his father was Chaim Mandel. Solomon and Milton had a brother Isaac Mandel who went to Canada and seemingly stayed in Montreal (I think he had a son named Hymie). One brother, Bernard, went to Canada and came into America at one point but I am not sure where he ended up. The ship manifests indicate that there was a brother Joseph who stayed in Sanok. I am not sure if he ever came to the US.

However, at the time of the Weiss habitation in the second half of the 19th century it was in Galicia -- ruled by Austria of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
.

Possible towns of origin of Weiss family:

Solomon Weiss likely had siblings, one confirmed brother was David Weiss of Jackson, TN:
David Weiss of Jackson, TN,
Solomon's brother David Weiss 1934 Tennessee death certificate,
lists their father as Benjamin Weiss & mother as Hannah Warner (or possibly Werner)

David Weiss (of Tennessee)
born circa 1852 in "Austria" was a brother of Solomon/Salomon Weiss of New York.
He lived in Jackson, Tennessee. David (mistakenly called Dan in the 1920 US Census) married Marie Antoinette "Nettie"
Bailey. 
I believe David and Nettie Weiss of Jackson, TN had 8 children according to the
1910 US Census, 1920 US Census, 1930US Census, & letter and funeral notice of Nettie

Children of David and Nettie Weiss:
Ben Morris Weiss, born 22Apr1899, died 22Nov1968 in Dallas, TX,
