Resources:

The appendix contains LOTS of photographs and information about James and Eliza's twelve children. There is also a link to a Rickenbach family tree.

UPDATED! Refer to a detailed map of the district of Rickenbach, which gives links to many of the places of interest mentioned in the memoir.

Read about the lives of each Rickenbach generation in my direct line, from 1696 to 1948!
