Welcome Ted,

It appears your ggg- grandmother was born in Zutzendorf 16 Jan 1823 and went
to Canada with her parents Johann Theobald Reeb and wife Elisabetha
Margaretha Hanns. They settled at Humberstone, Ont, Canada. Theabold's
father was a younger brother to my gggg-grandfather.

Who did Margarethe marry, where & when did she die? Either John V Reeb or
myself have genealogy on this interesting family if you are interested.

Mike Reeb

P. S.We will be gone for a week or so.
