Reding, his first wife Anna Wolff and their children. John U. Reding was born in Germany in 1832 according to his death certificate. At least one census says 1827. I do not know when he came to America, to which Port or aboard which ship. At least one census says he immigrated in 1827. The first census I find John on is the 1860 in the 7th ward, Baltimore city. With him are Dorada Monday, John Reading, Anna Reading, Frederick Reading, Caroline Reading and Elizabeth Reading. Frederick and Caroline are children of John and Anna. I think Elizabeth could be John's mother. John and Anna are found on the 1870 census in Baltimore, 2nd ward, with children Caroline 17 invalid, Barbara 14, John 9, August 7, Elizabeth 5 and Rosa 2. By the 1880 census John was married to second wife, Christina. Son Frederick is no where to be found in 1870. I have found the death of Rosa and some information on Elizabeth who married Louis F. Deise. I would love to be able to find immigration, marriage info for John and Anna and information on children Frederick, Caroline, Barbara, John and August. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Contact me at ronandlisa2@comcast.net
