**Sometime after their father John dies they loose their farm in court as the children and wife of John Drees, sometime later Gertrude marries Nicholas Reichling about 1897 her children become Trace as their last name sometime after John's death/

**about the same time there is a Nicholas Drees in Iowa Co., and he is born about 1848-1850 his intent papers say he is from Luxemburg//he marries a Margaret Kraus//

I would like to find any information on these two Nicholas or John as I don't know who their parents were or anything further on them. Nicholas and Margaret move to and die at LaCrosse, Wi. after 1895//

I think they are from Luxemburg descent as many of the names connected were from Luxemburg, I have much more on the Steffes and they are from Luxemburg, also the Reger and Reichling families, other families married into the Steffes and Regers are: Eischen, Kieffer, Schmit, DeMuth, May, Schaaf, Ley, Rock, Kauffman, Friedes, Ruppert, Pittz, Schilling, Gevelinger, George,Peters, Steil, Mick, Hupperts, Rink, Lawvinger, Beckius ..please email me if you have any further information, or would like further info..
