I am new to this list, so I thought I'd post my REEB ancestor and see who's
out there. My ggg-grandmother was a Margaret RIEB/REEB born ca. 1822, who
is variously described as coming from France or Germany. In the 1860's and
1870's she was living in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada, and I have
found references to a John Theobald REEB who immigrated to that region in
1847 from Alsace, France. I have also found Alsace emigration information
on a Jean Thiebaud REEB who emigrated from Zutzendorf, France. It seems
likely that John Theobald and Jean Thiebaud are the same person, or at
least related. I do not yet know Margaret's relationship, but, again, it
seems likely there is one. John Theobald had a daughter named Margaret,
but her age (as given by New York passenger manifest data) is significantly
different than my Margaret, so they are probably not the same person.
