Although the information presented here is primarily about the offspring of Jacob and Sophie (Ruff) Reichel, we have also included any known information on their grandparents, parents, and siblings. For example, we were able to include quite a bit of information on the family of one of Jacob's brothers, Andreas. This information came from Maria Koch Reichel who was married to Andreas' son (also named Jacob Reichel ... not to be confused with the Jacob Reichel who is the subject of this website). Maria still lives in Dietel, Russia (now known as Alesniki, Russia). Two of Jacob and Sophie Reigel's granddaughters, Annette Parrish and Cristy McMillin, met Maria when they traveled to Russia in 1994(??). A big thanks to Annette for helping to preserve our heritage by documenting what they learned about our family from Maria!! |
