I have been looking for family of Karl Julius RISTAU b. 1866.His father was said to be Karl Julius RISTAU also.He immigrated to the US in 1886 and settled in Cleveland, Ohio. The story has also been told that he was from Alsace-Lorraine.He originally spelled his name RISTEAU, but later dropped the "e".His daughter-in-law put the "e" back in but no one knows why.I have very little luck finding RISTAU's in Alsace or Lorraine.Always wondered if the family had moved.Would like to hear more from you about the family.
Thanks,
Rachel
