RISTAU'S IN NEW YORK/ USA

My husband's family is from the Albany New York area. I have been doing his Risko family line.They were from Bavaria, I believe may have come over here in the mid 1800s.
I don't know if through pronounciation their last name Risko may at one time have been Ristau.Michael Risko was born in 1846, and had 3 sons, only two lived Jacob and Henry.Are either of these name in your family ancestry? Would like to hear from you if you think there may be some relationship/link.
