About us
Background
This project has its roots in the research and documentation work carried out by the current Project Administrator and the many men and woman who have worked with us on the Riehle.Net website over the past 20+ years. When this FTDNA project was launched in late 2022 we had already compiled a significant amount of information about various family contingents, including a number of family trees, available Y-haplogroup data, family histories including immigrant ancestors and the areas from which they emigrated, etc. We encourage Riehle’s from the Americas and Europe to review the links to that website which are available here (see “Links” on the project menu) and to participate at either or both websites.
As a point of clarification, the Riehle.Net site refers to “Family Segments” to describe various identified Riehle lineages with documented genealogical roots. As this project was reviewed for inclusion in the FTDNA community, the term “segment” created some confusion vis-à-vis atDNA related chromosomal segments as used in assessing DNA matches. We therefor use the term “family contingents” within this project but as you move between the two websites know that the terms are intended to be equivalent.
