Back in 2012, I wrote about the arrival of the Rech family in the United States. Ancestry has images of German marriage records, and I located the marriage record for Nicolaus Rech to both Elisabetha Euler and her sister, Susanna Euler.
Nicolaus married Elisabetha Euler on 22 April 1846. The record shows his birth date as 10 September 1815, Elisabetha's birth date as 1 November 1820. Elisabetha's older brother Jacob Euler married Nicolaus' sister, Anna Maria Rech, on 15 February 1849. Nicolaus served as a witness to their marriage.
Elisabetha passed away on 17 May 1850. Before then, she and Nicolaus had three children:
- Anna Maria Rech, 6 March 1847 to 5 February 1870
- Heinrich Rech, 21 August 1848 to 1 June 1850
- George Rech, 7 October 1849 to 19 June 1938
Left with young children, Nicolaus then married Elisabetha's sister, Susanna on 3 October 1850. The record shows Susanna was born on 30 May 1823.
Nicolaus and Susanna had son Jacob and daughter Elisabeth in Wachenheim before they made the journey to America in 1854.
The German records trace the Rech and Euler family lines back quite far. I'll spend a bit more time following these lines before shifting back to generations in Indiana.
