My great-grandmother was from Zell-am Mosel in the Rheinisch Palatinate. (This is the home of "Black-Cat" Wine)Her father Peter Greif was "governer" of the city. After arriving in America, she married J. August Renz from Reulingen, Wuertemberg,. They were married in thew Trinartian Lutheran Church in Chicago with the ceremony conducted in German. The couple settled in Leavenworth, KS, where he operated a cigar factory. Other Greifs came later and settled in California, and Washington State. I would like to contact any member of this family.
