Welcome, Ted. Glad you joined the Reeb list! There are some very knowledgeable
Reeb descendants on this list...not including me, however.

My grandfather, George K. Reeb, born in 1885 emigrated to Nebraska from
Keskastel in 1903 never to see any of his immediate family again.

Sincerely, Gail in NE
