    Although my Riedinger ancestors came originally from Oberotterbach/Kandel Germany my great, great, great grandfather Johannes Nikolaus Riedinger with his wife Theresia (Nee Ring) and son Franz left Germany in 1809 to settle in Russia lured by the promises laid out in the manifesto of Catherine the Great. They settled in Landau in the Beresan district of Odessa in the spring of 1810. Four generations later, having endured many hardships and watched the promises of the manifesto be reversed and negated, my great grandfather John Leonard Riedinger his wife Isabella (nee Stein) and their children Joseph, Harold, George (my grandfather) , Walter, Nick, Monica, and Alex left Russia for America.
