Marie Reisch was born in 1850 in Prussia (Germany) but don't know when she emigrated to the U.S. with her husband (Johann C F Hamann). They eventually settled in Minnesota (around Winona)... wondering if anyone has any information regarding Marie (Mary) Reisch family...

I know this posting is old, but I just started to research This family for my husband. Isabel (Risch) and Anthony Widish are his great grandparents. He knows very little about them except spending time in Dousman when he was very young with his cousins. He also recalls when Isabel was in St. Ann's.
I had the opportunity to meet his grandmother Evelyn (Widish) Jansen(Isabel and Anthony's daughter) and get to know her a little. I did know her husband Robert, but we did not see them very often. I would love to know more about this family and it would mean a great deal to my husband.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I might have some info on Risches in France. If they are of French origin it would probably be from Alsace or Lorrain.

Re: Albert Risch and Catherine Wachs

RebeccaEParry — 2008-10-20 19:22:22Z

Oh my goodness. You have the other half of her story. I would love to see a picture of her. I've only ever really heard the Kampe (first husband) side of things. The brother who moved to Germany was Robert. I believe he is still alive, but my mom has lost track of him. He went by the Kampe last name. I would love to correspond off of the forum if you wouldn't mind. I have additional details from her marriage to Fred Kampe Sr. and a lot of information on her Wachs ancestors. It seems that she had a very difficult life from the very beginning - at least that's what my grandfather always indicated and I've uncovered additional information that backs this up. Here's my contact info sillyygoose@aol.com Rebecca

in case you can't get in touch with my mother catherine moved to newport kentucky. her children with albert risch were albert risch, ralph risch, mildred risch, gilbert risch and another son i don't know his name he moved to germany. catherine died when my grandfather was picking her up fom the hospital. my understanding is the wachs family disowned her when she married my great grandfather. her life was very hard, my great grandfather died from a heart attack and she was left alone to raise all those children.

RISCH FAMILY IN FRANCE

delicatesinner — 2008-07-21 20:11:30Z

Does any body have information on "Risch" families in France? Thanks.

Re: Marie Risch; Sophia Risch; Ernst Risch

bobfoster312 — 2008-07-11 01:53:47Z

Don't have anything directly on Marie, but Ernst was my great-great-grandfather. He was born in Goslan in August, 1823 or 1826, came to America in 1870, and died in Brooklyn in 1900. (See Brooklyn Eagle 6/19/00 and NY Times 6/21/00) My family's notes say that he'd lived in Emden and his parents were named Sebastian and Sabina. Do you know how the Apel's and Risch's are linked? Ernst's eldest son Henry is the same "great uncle Henry Risch" cited in "Koop", the memoir of ex-surgeon general C Everett Koop (whose mother was an Apel), and the Koops lived on 14th Street, the Apels on 15th and my great-grandfather Eberhard Risch, Ernst's second son, on 11th Street, all between 5th and 4th Avenues in South Brooklyn, but I haven't found the actual names and relationships. Thanks,

Marie Risch; Sophia Risch; Ernst Risch

dickapel — 2008-06-09 21:41:54Z

Looking for information on Marie Juliane Philippine Risch born 1811 in Germany.. I believe her sister was Sophia Risch and her brother was Ernst Risch. They were probably born in Goslar.

Albert Risch and Catherine Wachs

RebeccaEParry — 2008-01-25 03:39:28Z

I am looking for descendants of Albert Risch and Catherine Wachs. I am the granddaughter of Fred Kampe Jr., a son of Catherine's first marriage. I have a lot of information on the Wachs family, but I'm really interested to know more about Catherine, my great-grandmother. I know that her parents were George Wachs and Katherine Kohl and that her mother died when she was a baby. I would especially like to see some pictures of Catherine and to correspond with family who actually knew her. My mother thinks she only met her once and knows very little about her.

Hello again,
You might find this website of interest http://vilda.alaska.edu/cdm4/results.php?CISOOP1=all&CIS.... It's the Alaska Digital Archives, and there are two photos that were taken in 1950 of the Risch homestead. Charles and Martha originally settled there, and I'm guessing that at some point, Norman's brother, Clarence, took over the property. -Dawne

Hello again. Sorry I've been out.

I'm two generations down from Norman, who is my grandfater.

My mother was Pauline (Evelyn Pauline), deceased since Sept 1993, and Jerry's information is accurate. Norma is thankfully, my dear aunt and still alive.

I'm kind of slow moving on my tree, so thank you very much for all your information.

Looking at your posting at Rootsweb. Isabel Risch Widish b. 1890 was a younger sister to my paternal grandmother, Clara Leone Risch b. 1879. I would share info with you, if you like. I have worked with other Risch researchers and we would have data that you would like to have. Respond, so we can e-mail privately.

This message seeking information on the above was actually a request from Mary Thibaut. I use my employer''s computer and internet so messages often have his name or reference to him on them. At any rate, I am glad to hear from you. Will you be able to help me track down information on the family and descendants of Joseph Risch? If you can't, is there someone in the family who is interested in genealogy or at least interested enough to help me out? Please get back to me with an e-mail address or mailing address, and I will let you know what information I am looking for and need for this family tree project. Thank you for responding.

Re: I am looking for Risch

RebeccaEParry — 2006-01-18 18:32:17Z

I may have some information for you regarding the Wachs side of your family. I just inherited genealogical research and documents from my grandparents, which is in disarray, and I have only just begun going through it. My grandfather Fred W. Kampe, Jr., was the son of Catherine Wachs from a previous marriage to Fred W. Kampe, Sr. I have all kinds of info including photos of members of the Wachs family (but sadly, only one of Catherine as a child). I would love to know what Catherine's life was like after her she became a Risch, since she had little contact with the Kampes after that. Also, I would love to know if you have any photos of her. Please e-mail me and I will tell you what I know of Catherine from my grandfather and if you will be patient with me, I will be sure to give you what family info I can for Wachs as I weed through it all. I literally have boxes of stuff (not all Wachs).
