WELCOME TO THE RAILE
FAMILY WEB SITE
CREATED BY PENNY
RAILE
A site to learn, reacquaint and remember fondly a family
that has deep roots that spread around the world.
Included in
this web site is information I have accumulated over the years about my
immediate, extended and very extended Raile family. My research started
with my grandparents, Gottlieb and Regina Raile. Both were Germans who
lived in Russia because their great grandparents moved from Württemberg to the
Black Sea area after Catherine the Great and her grandson Alexander I offered
incentives for Germans to develop the fertile steppes in the late 1700's and the
early 1800's.
When Gottlieb
and Regina's families found it difficult to continue living in Russia, they
moved to the northwest corner of Kansas in 1885. The two met and raised
their family of ten children, including my father Raymond. The tree
branches began to reach out beyond the heartland of America, and through the
years I have found Raile relatives around the world.
