Reply To: Reile Family

Hello,

I hope that you still occasionally check this site for replies. While looking online for information about my family I came across your posts then signed up in order to answer your request.
My maiden name is Elvira Reil and I am the third child of Dennis P. Reil III and Dennis Reil, or Dennis/ Dionicio Reil is my Great Grandfather.
While I was doing my research I came across the name Marcelina Rios who is listed as John Reil’s mother, but it did not list a father. Now I know who the father of my great grandfather was – John Friedrich Reil.
I knew that we were of German decent, but could not find anything past Dennis Reil I .
If you get this message please feel free to email and perhaps we could put our histories together to make a nice family tree.
I hope to hear from others about our family – Reil.
Blessings,
Vida

I have been told that it’s behind the old Lacks building off of I35. I forget the road name that runs along by St Joseph’s church and on by the new Catholic High School. Good hunting

Mine Enemy: the Story of German POWs in America

Wendel — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 19:11:18 +0000

While this is not specific to Comal County, it does apply to German and Texas history and culture…

A one-hour documentary special, Mine Enemy, brings to life a nearly forgotten aspect of life on the wartime homefront, whose ripples were felt on both sides of the ocean for years to come. The sound-rich program includes the voices of former German POWs and Americans who remember them, and archival sound from the period.
Mine Enemy is produced by Alison Jones together with Peabody award-winning editor Deborah George and hosted by veteran public radio producer John Biewen. Click here to listen to the program.

Reply To: Help needed with Jonas school pictures (ca. 1908)

I find this photograph interesting in that I recently, Jan. 2014, was on Fisher Store Road, off of Blanco Road. If this school is located near there then it is just Northwest of where the Cibalo Creek crosses Hwy 281 in BULVERDE. If this school is located in that area then I believe my father may have attended this school. I would be interested in what you may have discovered since posting this. My first cousin, Marvin Uecker Jr. married Arlene Jonas from this area as well.

Thank you for asking this question. I remember as a boy going past these graves many times in route to my grandparents house. These are the graves of my great great grandfather and grandmother. I have recently completed work (actually a work in progress) on a family genealogy and had wished I could have pictures like these. Actually Jerry is my first cousin and glad to see him in the picture as well.

Marie Petry

I am searching for any records on a female, named Marie Petry who born in 1913. She gave birth to a male infant in New Braunfels on November 5, 1934. She gave the baby up for adoption two months later. That baby boy is now 78 years old, and seeking only for closure on his birth mothers, no other reason. He would like to know anything about his birth mother that might be found.

Thank you.

Dorothea Louise Schultz Koepp Uecker is buried along with her husband Frederick Hermann (Wilhelm?) Uecker in northern Bexar County in a small family plot located in the Country Place subdivision. That is very close to where Hwy 281 N crosses Cibolo Creek into Comal County (near Bulverde). Attached are a few pictures I took of the grave stone in 2012 when Jerry Uecker showed members of the Schmidt-Ludwig-Scholz Reunion where the graves were located. The two sons from marriage with Michael Koepp: August Koepp is buried in Lone Oak Cemetery, Geronimo, Guadalupe County and Carl Koepp I do not know where he is buried.
