This German-Russian REICHERT family has its origins in Hilsbach/Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Paul REICHERT (1877-1954) and Katherine SCHMIDT (1880-1966) were both born in South Russia.
They had 10 children. We think Paul was born in Rastadt, Cherson, Beresan, South Russia because his eldest brother Jacob was born there 3 years before Paul's birth. Katherine was most likely born in Rastadt or München which is about a half mile northwest of Rastadt. The REICHERT family emigrated to North Dakota
around 1892 and settled in the Dickinson, Stark, ND area.
Paul's brother, Jacob REICHERT (1874-1961), married Katharina LANTZ (1875-1938) in Rastadt. Two of their children, Frank and Caroline, married Sebastian ROLL's (1873-1930)
children. Paul's eldest daughter, Rosa, married Sebastian ROLL's eldest son, Michael. The REICHERT Family Tree Chart provides a clear picture. View the emigration papers of the REICHERT family in the "German-Russian Passports and IDs" section.
