Riedesel Zu Josbach[edit]
According to this writeup, the Riedesel Zu Josbach line began sometime in the 1400s with the Eckart Riedesel Zu Josbach, son of Gunther Riedesel, either the grandson or great grandson of the original Riedesel. I would add these sources myself, but I haven't been able to verify them as I don't have access to the source materials.

There's also this Geni tree, but it has no sources.
Not a particularly grand topic, but I found it interesting! Bearswithglowsticks (talk) 04:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
