JoAnn, yes there was bell in my head which ringed a little. There are several Rettinger / Rittinger in Ulmbach (Neu Petsch). Could be Setscha as well. I need to check. I have the family books from this villages and can send you a copy of the Rettinger pages. Can take a while as I'm a little busy at the moment.

My Grandfather, Johann Rettinger, came over in 1922 to Ellis Island and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The rest of the Rettinger clan came over to the U.S. and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. Does this ring a bell to anyone? Johann was born in Cavos, Yugoslavia in 1890. He was a baker. His father, Carl, was a furrier. Johann's Grandfather was Nikolas Samson (obviously his mother's father). > > JoAnn Douthwaite > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BANAT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >
