Hi Listers If any of you are REINHOLD descendants, please contact me and I'll send you an invitation to participate in the MyFamily.com REINHOLD family group. MUCH information has been added, including pictures, genealogy and kinship reports, etc. I even added a reconstructed recipe for my Grandma's famous Koch Kase, since none of us had sense enough to get it from her when she was still alive. If any of you have a "real" recipe for Monroe Co.-type cook cheese, please let me know. We even have a recipe for sauerkraut chocolate cake! Now I'm convinced that the Germans can make anything out of kraut! Bob Reinhold assures me that it is delicious and he has it every year for his birthday. Also, do any of you have an old German concertina (accordion) or a good picture of one? Grandpa used to play one (at Miller's tavern in Burksville and other places) and I'd like to put a picture of it on the family site. Janet
