Notes:

I, Magdalena Stretz, have been asked what I know about my grandfather. His name was Rhinehart Brenneisen and died in the year of eighteen hundred and forty-five or forty-six in Etlingen, Grand Duchy of Baden. He lived in Italy, in the town of Milan. All of his children were born there. Three sons and two daughters. They were: August, Joseph, Reinhardt, Anna and Theresa. Theresa was my mother. In the year 1812 my grandfather went with his family, to a convent, from Italy to Frauenalb, which belongs to either Baden or Wurtemberg. There was so much farmland all around this convent, as my grandfather often mentioned. He built a big factory. At the time the Duchess, the mother of the Grand Duke, took every thing away from my grandfather, but did not pay him for it. Before the Duchess died, she called in her three sons, namely” the Grand Duke, Duke Wilhelm and the youngest, whom she called Max, in the castle in Karlsruhe, and made them promise, in her presence, that they would pay grandfather, Reinhardt Brenneisen, everything with interest. After the death of the Duchess, they paid my grandfather 100 gulden each year, but they always promised that they would pay him in full. My grandfather died in the greatest of poverty, ninety seven years old. In the year 1845 we all went to America. Since then the Grand Duke wrote that all the heirs should receive their shares, but it was to go to any other land. We were too poor to make the visit. The oldest Brenneisen daughter remained in Germany, and received her share of 15,000 gulden. She died a long time ago.

Reinhard married Baumgartner, Maria Anna. Maria was born about 1750 in Germany; died on 25 Jul 1828 in Waldprechtsweier, Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
