The Reeves Family Home Page

This is the beginning of a long process of creating a Reeves Family Tree. It is quite difficult when you begin with very little information.

Following the links in the Family History section below will take you from Switzerland, France, Germany, Russia, and points unknown to many parts of the USA. The Bierig side of the family is more complete. We need help to "fill in the blanks" on the Reeves side!

If you have helpful information, or if you see a correction that needs to be made, please email us at the address on this page.

Don't forget to read the notes about specific individuals, especially the Bierigs, Bergmans, and Trachslers! Notes are marked with a notepad icon at the end of the individual's name. Just click on that person's name to view the notes.
