RINGWALD GENEALOGIES
[Last updated 7 March 2011]
This Ringwald crest
woodcarving was made by Eugene Lee
(Gene) Ringwald [1919-1998] of Durham, NC, a descendant of Georg
Ringwald (Line 1 below). Views from the Freiamt, Baden area
show the Green Tree Inn
(founded by that Georg Ringwald) and some of the Ringwald crest details at the
Inn.
Photos of the Freiamt countryside around Ottoschwanden (shared by
Diane Blust) are shown here: (the village)
and here: (an old farm).
