It appears that all Stelzriedes are descended from a single family from the small (250 years ago) farming village of Hille (near Bremen, a land of water, windmills, and peat bogs) in North Rhine/Westphalia in Germany. This site lists the descendants of Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Stelzriede of Hille, Germany, born about 1750. There are two main surviving branches of the family that arose from two sons of Johann Friedrich Wilhelm: Johann Cord and Johann Heinrich. Information on Hille, Germany and other family history is included here too.
