The sweep of family history across the generations
Just a bit about Twyla, Gene, Zach and Lani.
Betty’s father was a prosperous merchant who came to Pomerania from East Prussia.
From 1880s to the 1930s, the Ringel family prospered in the garment trade in the German capital. Herman made men's outerwear.
Schija Ringel came from Poland to seek his fortune in Berlin’s old Jewish district.
First came Walter, then Danny and Joanne. They would carry on the Ruby-Ringel genes.
