My great grandfather was named Nernard (Barney) Riemenschneider (shortened to Schneider in the U.S.). It appears that he may have come from Licherode near Kassel in Hesse. My great grandmother was Margaretha Hoffenbecher (changed to Hoffenbacher in the U.S.). She may have been from the Rheinland-Palatinate area. Any help will be welcomed.
