    3. Submitted on behalf of Marilyn Nagy. -List Admin=============================================================Searching for information on a William or Christian REISS(REIS or RIES) who emigrated from Prussiaabout 1840 and settled in Newark. Son George William was born in 1850. On the son’s marriage recordit looks like the mother’s name is Maria or one or its derivatives. Son George William Reiss took off for Ontario,Canada about 1872, marriedthere in 1875 and died in Torontoin 1918.Family lore is that Christian or William Reiss started asmall brewery in New Jersey,which was later sold out to a large brewery…the name Hensler came up. One relative thinks there were other brothers beside George William.All information on William/Christian Reiss and his familywould be greatly appreciated as this line has been a dead-end.Marilyn Nagympnagy1@cox.net
