Could I jump in here? My database has both Rieke and Bode and I think
Riecken is what Rieke evolved from. My Riekes were in the area of Van
Wert Ohio and Ft Wayne Indiana and the Bode name is from Empede Germany
area. I wonder if there is a connection to one or all of these
names---Bob
I am seeking Talke Rieken, b. abt. 1630 Marx, Ostfriesland, buried 22
Feb 1723 Marx. She is the daughter of Rieke Focken, Bauer at Marx,
near Friedeberg. Ron
