Children and Grandchildren of Arthur and Margaretta Rikli
I will attempt to find pictures of each of the 12 children of Arthur and Margaretta and the childrens’ spouses. This is a work in progress as I currently have no pictures of some of their children and very few pictures of their grandchildren. I rely on family members to send me additional pictures so I can tell your story on this site.
