I found some new information on my grgrandma and would appreciate if anyone could confirm or provide more accurate information. Any connections with any family listed below would be helpful too. Especially the reif or reiffe or raef family. I can't seem to find anything else on them to confirm if any of their connections are factual. Maybe I just haven't found the correct spelling of their last name yet either. Thanks.
