I’m looking for any information on my family. My great grandparents were Peter and Kathryn Reichel…my grandfather and grandmother were David and Christina (Leffler) Reichel. My father and mother are Robert and Shirley (Hoppe) Reichel. I don’t have much information going back beyond Peter and Kathryn. They immigrated to the states from Dietel Russia and I’m told came in through Galveston, TX.
Any information on how I can find out more would be much appreciated.
Thank you
