The original Stichs were in the village of Ried located in

Bavaria. Then one of them, my great-great-grandfather, Anton(ius), moved to
Sinzheim, a village in Baden, close to Baden-Baden.

was born Mar. 10, 1841, probably in Frankfurt, Germany. They lived 229 S. New Jersey St.
Indianapolis. Floribert was a cabinetmaker and died Sept. 11, 1905 in Indianapolis.
