Americans are searching where they came from.
Is there someone who can help?
May be a changing of the name from Riecken to Riecke!?!?
John Fredrick Riecke was born March 7, 1822 apparently in
Schleswig/Holstein.
Peter George Riecke was also born in Germany on February 1, 1853. They were in Chicago when
William Frederick Riecke was born on August 9, 1884,
a brother named
John Friedrich Henry Riecke was born in Chicago on June 1, 1883.
So the Riecke family came to America before June of 1883.
