Reiman family: Seeking information

My name is Edward Manuel Reiman son of Burton Reiman, grandson of Edward Manual Reiman. My dad was born in Atlanta, as was I. I was lead to believe our roots are in the area of Brody. Came to the US around 1885 to 1890.

My dad talked VERY little about his family, but I think hr said they were sort of split between New Jersy and Chicago, Ill.

Dad and his family spent a lot of time in Miami, Fla. during the 1920's.

I am just starting this search ... please help if you can.

I am 60 now, and would like to leave some information for my children.

Hi Montana,

Basically family history is done by tracing your family backwards in time through source records. By obtaining US records for your father, his siblings, & his parents, you will hopefully find the exact town in Europe where your family is from & your great, grandparents names. For an eample, your father's birth record may provide town of birth for his parents. Anyway, there are basic tutorials on tracing your family online, your library and/or bookstore will also have genealogical books. It's a good way to know what records will contain the information you are looking for & where to obtain those records.

Have you placed them on census records?

If you will provide birth year for your grandfather, wife's name & DOB & same for their children & where they lived, I'll be glad to look for some online records to get you started.

You can contact me by going to my profile, if you would like to do it that way.

Found an Edward Reiman, born in Austria, living in Miami Beach, FL in 1930, born about 1890, with a son named Burton R Reiman.

My grand father WAS Edward Manuel Reiman, and my dad was Burton Reiman (with no middle name). The time frame is right, but I think my grandfather - Edward - was born in the US ... any other relatives out of this search?

Joyce,

Thanks, but sorry to say I have no idea about my grand fathers DOB. My Dad, Burton Reiman (no middle name) was born Nov. 18th 1915. He had and older sister Edna. I never knew my grandmother, but i think her name was Bertha.
