Greetings, I am researching my family tree and located some informationg I may need help with. I have sent this email again with a bit more information. The RIEDEL family were born in Germany but had settled in Saratov on the banks of the Volga river. Apparently they had a large mill in the area. I am unsure of their names but I know that Marta RIEDEL was born in Saratov in the 1880's. Marta later worked for the Tsarina Alexandria before the Tsar family was murdered. She initially married a frenchman by the name of Arthur LARDONG and had three(3) children. Arthur was a chauffer for the Tsar. They had three children together; Schulkar, Albert and Marta before Arthur died. Marta's second marriage was to Friedrich SCHWEINBERGER who was mechanic for the train from St. Petersburg to Germany. They married in St. Peterseburg and fled to live in Kybartai, Lithuania where they had four more children; Waldemar, Friedrich, and Lucy.
