For those of you who do not know our 'cousin' Stefan Riegel of Mainz Germany, he is an avid researcher of the family Riegel. He has copied and translated into English the church records of the home area of Matthias Riegel and his descendants. I refer you to his website, which has a great deal of information which I'm sure you will find interesting. Among other things he responds to the mistaken idea that Matthias came from the Chemnitz area of Germany.Take a few minutes and look at: http://members.aol.com/stefriegel/riegel.html
My line is Matthias, Jost, Johannes Cornelius, Johan Daniel, Andreas, John Daniel, Daniel, Harrison, Warren and me (Charles)
