I have very limited information regarding the Reis family. My great grandfather was Valentine Paul Reis, he later changed his name to Samuel Vincent along with his year of birth. I have found his fathers name to be Alois Reis and his mothers first name only as Ariza. That came to the US from Germany and landed in NY where VP was born, he has 2 brothers William and Isban. I know all the information regarding the children of VP Reis and Josephine Chollman. They were all born in Omaha, NE. I also live in the Omaha area.
