Compiler of Riehle Family History 1697-1999
After a long career, Dennis Riehle (b.1929), like many of us, became increasing interested in genealogy, particularly with regard to his namesake Riehle family. In 1999 he published Riehle Family History 1697-1999. The book covers a number of Riehle lines but particularly focuses on the Riehle’s of Wisconsin who descended from Leonhard Riehle. He has included many detailed family group sheets for the families covered so it should be of interest to descendants of these Riehle families.
We would like to hear from you if:
- You would like to purchase a copy of his book (Price now reduced to $19.50)
- You have originals of any of the pictures contained in his book*
(Please leave requests for copies or
comments about photographs below)
* Dennis has granted us permission to publish photographs from his book but unfortunately all original photos were returned to contributing family members without retaining digital copies. Scanning from the book will not provide the best quality for posting on the website so we are anxious to get digital copies of these and other Riehle family photographs which can then be posted here on the site where appropriate.

Hi, how am I able to get a copy of the Reihle Family History.
I’ll email with details.
Casper Rhiele (b. ca. 1742, Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany) was the 1st settler of Ross Twp., PA. He changed the spelling of his surname to Reel at some point. I think he and some relatives were In Philadelphia, PA before Casper arrived in Allegheny County, PA.
Casper died 1824 in Allegheny County, PA. He married Elizabeth Wise b. 1760, d. 1843. His history is well documented in that county.
Can anyone tell me if the Rhiele families in this project are descended from Casper or his relatives, please? I do not have DNA on my Rhiele/Reel relative.
Charlene, sorry, I have not seen any spellings with “Rhiele” for any of the lineages we have traced back to Europe.

Hi trying to get copy of book
Hi Nick,
When you get a chance, will you let me know how to get a copy of Dennis’ book? I’m descended from Conrad Riehle who went to Iowa. Our little Iowa branch moved to WI in the 1950’s.
Thanks!
Casper Rhiele/Reel b. ca. 1742 , d. 1824 had a son named Conrad.
Hi
My husband’s family descends from Nicholas Riehle (b Dec1866) who was married to Mary Draud (b Aug1867) They married in 1886. Their son Albert (b April 1895) was my husband’s grandfather. I would love to purchase at least one (preferably 2) books for my children. Please contact me!
Thank you
Carol, apologies for the delay responding. I have some questions on your family history and will email about that and Dennis’s book.
I would also love information on how to purchase this book. My great-great-grandfather was Leonhard Riehle.

I am interested in a copy of the Riehle Family History. Please send information. Thanks
I.m interested in Johann Georg Riehl (REEL) could be Riehle as noted. Born in Reutlingen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany abt 1740, died in 1795 in Lincoln County NC. Would this book have any information in MY Family?
Thanks for your note. Dennis’s book is unlikely to provide information on this Johann Georg. His book is focused mostly on one branch of the Riehle Family out of Wagshurst Baden. We have several articles on the Riehle’s out of Wurttemberg and they are from the area near Reutlingen. See https://riehle.net/riehle-stories-photos/mahringen-wurttemberg/. If you have access to Ancestry.com, you may also want to review the Riehle’s in the tree linked from these articles, although I was not able to locate a Johann Georg Riehl(e), born 1740, in that tree. Please let me know if you find anything. As I am currently… Read more »
