Rienerth in Transylvania

This is a sub-project focusing on the surname Rienerth in what is now known as Transilvania, Romania. It is part of the Rienerth Name Study.

Transylvania has changed countries multiple times throughout history, however, we will be focusing on the German population located within, known as Transylvanian Saxons.
