Audrey: I hope you are aware that there were/are more than one Rittberg in Germany/Prussia. (Germany did not come into existence until 1871). You can check out the various Rittbergs by going to www.jewishgen.org and doing a search on their shtetl seeker link. There are map links to each town/village by that name that the search produces. It is imperative that you have the correct one before you continue on with your research. Best Luck.
