Hi
Just saw your post regarding wanting contact with current Reidl family members.
I'm not a Reidl, but I thought you might be interested that I just attended an exhibition at the Kinsky Palace, part of the National Art Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic. It was an exhibit of the art of Willim Reidl. He was a member of a large and well-known Reidl family of Bohemia, and they have been known for their production of beautiful art glass and functional glass for many decades, possibly centuries. Josef Reidl (and there was no second 'e' in the spelling---I think that variation accomodates the English tongue) was the chief member of that family. They had on display a family tree on paper that was probably 4x6 feet large, maybe larger.

Perhaps you could contact them about this information. Here are links:

Good luck
