Diana,

Some CRIPE researchers DO include the family of Emanuel F. CRIPE and
Frances MIKESELL. The data I am looking at includes a listing of
their children, but it lists Alice without the name "Frances."
Further, I don't have information on any of the spouses or children
of Emanuel and Frances. Others may have some of that info.

What we CAN help you with is providing links to the CRIPE ancestors
as well as those of Frances Mikesell. Both of those lines are pretty
tangled up at that point, because HIS mother was the sister to HER
father -- and her mother was a CRIPE!

I have a question for you: Who was "Uncle Role and Aunt Alice"
mentioned as the family with whom Daniel Dontje stayed after his
mother died?

Regards!

JS
