Hi Shirley
I have not seen our name spelled that way before, but who knows? I know there was a Charles R�TER in Carrollton, I think in the 1870 or 1880 census. I have not been able to connect him with my family. Of course I don't know if Albert R�TER had any siblings that came to US with him or after he came. I have checked ship records at the library and have not been able to find Albert R�TER on any of them. I will continue to look I feel that some day I will be able to crack this brick wall. Thanks for your reply.
Sharon
