Individual Notes
• Name given as John Mick Reinig. [4152, p 1]
• I only got to Baltimore and Greenmount cemeteries. At Baltimore I was able to locate John and Ricka’s graves. John’s is marked, Ricka’s is not. [6029]
• I have continued to look for information on John Michael Reinig, but as you told me, he is just not to be found in other than the 1870 census and the various Baltimore directories listing his occupation and address. [6970]
