Suggestion: Are you sure the name is REDERER? I know of the name RIEDERER. Walter -----Original Message----- From: W.

A search of any families with surname Rederer and Donnitzer turned up only one family in Wisconsin, USA - same family being researched. IGI was very very lacking on Rederer other than two entries showing as being from Canton Appenzell. ZILCH, nothing, zada, whatever the German-speaking say for nothing, on Donnitzer.

Any help to help zero to correct canton, maybe even village, considering the extreme rarity of the name Donnitzer (even Donitzer), will be very very appreciated. W.

I followed up on Riederer and sure enough there are plenty of of them in Chippewa County, Wisconsin - including the given names Henry and John, two siblings. But what is NOT answered from you or any others as well - Donnitzer (or is it Donitzer, Donitger, Duntiger, etc?) They came in 1884.
