Pam and Philip Brieden of Thibodaux, Louisiana

I am always looking for new information on the following surnames:

Brieden, Rihn, Obitz-Obitts, Obits, Obets, Walz,

Most of these families settled the Henri Castro Colonies in the Medina and Frio Counties of Texas. The Briedens are known to have been at D'Hanis and Devine.

I am in need of information about my Grandmother Emma Mary Obets. Daughter of Charlie and Maria Rihn Obets, Frio Co. Texas. She was born 12 Feb.1882, and died March 1957, married Gustve Jacob Brieden, Aug.1901.
