Journal of a Voyage of Wilhelm Regenstreif

Willhelm Regenstreif was my maternal Great-Grandfather. He was born in Stanislau (Czernovitz) on May 15, 1833. He was a representative of a French Insurance Company. The voyage was undertaken in order to visit headquarters in Paris to obtain a better position or territory assignment to make a better living for him and his family. The original Journals were preserved by our family and are currently in the custody of my first wife Daisy, the mother of Yvonne, John and Pete. I am very grateful to her for having taken the interest and time to decipher the old Latin handwriting and translating them into such a colorful English, so that they may be read by our children and further known and treasured by future generations.
