Notes

Heinrich Andreas Reitz, Katharina Dittenbir and children appear on the Kukkus Reitz Surname Chart prepared by Dr, Igor Pleve. It would be assumed that the children were all born in Kukkus, however American records leave no doubt that all the children were born in the USA. Also Katherine Dittenbir lists her immigration to the USA in 1898. It would seem that the parents communicated with the church in Kukkus after immigrating and their childrens births were then entered into the Kukkus church records, where they were found many years later by Dr. Pleve.
Also the 1886 Kukkus Family List has a note that Andreas died in America 28 Apr 1904, as furthur evidence of entering American events in the Kukkus records.

The family has seen his death card and newspaper articles about the work accident in 1904 which killed him. The Reitz surname chart had 1909.
