Joseph Frank Reif and Annie (Wolfe) Reif

(click here to view Reif family tree)


The Reif genealogy that is found on this website begins with:
 
Joseph Frank Reif
b. 1882 Austria
d. 1964 Barton County, Kansas
and
Annie Wolfe/Woelfle 
b. 1885 Austria
d. 1926 Barton County, Kansas

Joseph's parents are:
 Ignatz/Ignatius Reif and Johanna Fischer 
(both of Austria)

Annie parents are:
Florian Wolfe/Woelfl and 
Theresa Hornish or Neiderle
(both of Austria)

 Joseph Reif and Annie Wolfe emigrated from Austria in 1905, and settled in Barton County, Kansas.  The majority of the Reifs in this line stayed either in this area of Kansas, or migrated to California, Arizona, and Arkansas. 

Be sure to check the surname index for a 
complete list of Reifs and related families.  Major surnames connected to this Reif line are Boman, Clowers, Feist, Hirsh and Oberle 

 

Please note that there were many Reifs in the Barton County, Kansas area 
from about 1900 on.  With only two exceptions, I cannot, at this time, connect any of them to Joseph Reif (above).  All I know for sure is that Joseph had one sister (Anna Reif Kaiser) and one brother (Steve Reif) that settled in the immediate area.  Siblings Emil and Marie were documented as living in Germany.
