looking for information on immigration etc for Weit Rees (Reiss,Reitz,Reist) around 1830 from Bavaria Germany

Query by monkeyblonde

He was smuggled in with his brothers George and Michael. First they went to Ohio then to Bourbon County,Kentucky in 1838. Wiet(Viet) married Minerva Kimes (daughter of Stephen Kimes and Elizabeth Wycoff) and they had many children. They ended up moving to Kansas and that is where they both died. If anyone has any information on how and when they came to the USA or where they lived in Bavaria Germany I would really appreciate it. Have been looking for a long time now and have had no luck at all.
Thank you

Definitely check out RootsChat.com then goto their Emigrants to United States of America board. Somebody surely should be able to help you after all this time.

You will have to register as a new user (keep same username as here if you like in case somebody is looking for you). Free website.

And it can't hurt to use this powerful genie search engine on REES, REISS, REITZ, REIST to see what it can dig up. The Surname Navigator. It searches 14 sites at once in the particular country for each surname you submit. If you have dialup internet, just wait a while for results to appear.
