I also am a descendant of Hans Michel Reisner, down through the males of the family from Kentucky to Texas to California through to my father Lee W Risner (AKA Leon Washington Risner) d 1997. I have recently been trying to trace my family history and see on your post that your cousin has been tracing the Risners for years. Any information, stories, pictures, etc. you/Robert can provide is appreciated. I am very interested in talking to any Risner "cousins" and learning more.
