Ries
Looking for descendants of Wenzel Ries b: abt. 1857 in Austria and wife Elizabeth (Elise) Koestner (Kostner,Kestner, Kastner) Ries b:6 Oct 1859 Austria. They were wed in New Ulm, Minnesota. Had children: Mary, Joseph, Anna, Henry, Alfred B., Theodore, Lucy and Alfred A. They lived in Minnesota for a while, moved to the Jamestown, North Dakota area. I believe Wenzel passed away there. I believe Elizabeth passed away in California 10 Aug, 1945. Elizabeth had numerous sisters here in Minnesota, one of which married Wenzel's older brother Adam. Please contact me at [email protected] thank you.
