ABOUT THE CONTENTS

This book is arranged in nine chapters, each by a different author or co-author. Each chapter will have its own numbering of pages and its own index on the printed version. This way we can supply the contents of this book in its entirety or by individual chapter. If you are a member or descendant of say, Diedrich Steinke's line and wish to have the descendants only of this lineage, it will be supplied this way.

We do recommend that you also include "Want More Details". This section includes photos, maps and much early history of Rhine, Fryburg, Botkins, and surrounding areas.
