Reiswig's from Kingfisher Oklahoma

Michael, I tried to send this letter to your email address, but it was returned as undeliverable.
I have a possible match in the ship lists for your family it shows:
ship:Wieland, from Hamburg, and Havre
to:NY, arrived 5 June 1878
(just a note, almost all the German Russians traveled to Germany to travel by
ship tothe USA).Hamburg was one of the major ports that they used.
REISWIZ, Jacob, 41 yrs, Farmer, from Russia (all family members from RUSSIA)
REISWIZ, Anna, 41 yrs, wife
REISWIZ, Christian, 17 yrs, son
REISWIZ, Henrich, 8 yrs, child
REISWIZ, Jacob, 11 months, infant
REISWIZ, Georg, 1 month, infant
(once again I want to emphasize that these family names, and approximate
birthdates match a listing in the LDS IGI for the family of Jacob and Anna
REISWIG, this family is listed as being from WALTER, Russia in the IGI.
In addition there is another possible Reiswig family on this same ship.
The letter n and u are often mistaken for one another in handwriting
analysis.I have found the name Reusswig mistaken as Renswig in some other
documents...
RENSWIZ, Peter, 62 yrs, male, farmer
RENSWIZ, Margaretha, 59 yrs, wife
RENSWIZ, Heinrich, 36 yrs, Farmer
RENSWIZ, Catherina, 36 yrs, wife
RENSWIZ, Catherina, 9 yrs, child
RENSWIZ, Margaretha, 6 yrs, child
RENSWIZ, Christine, 11 months, infant
RENSWIZ, Johann, 1 month, infant
RENSWIZ, Johannes, 1 month, infant

Based on these census listings I would guess that your family first
immigrated to Kansas, then between 1878-1887 migrated to Oklahoma.
Does your Reiswig family have family members with Alzheimer's?I have a news article about a very large Reiswig family living in your area of Oklahoma that had a number of family members afflicted with Alzheimer's.This family is supposed to originally be from Walter, Russia.Apparently there are a number of families from Walter, and Frank Russia that have come down with Alzheimer's.Medical researchers in Seattle are working at learning more about this disease through the study of the family history of some of these families.
