Hi Nancy,
How wonderful to get to talk with you on here. Yes, this is the same Larry
Cripe and his wonderful wife. Is this Dora Royer related to Gladys Royer? I
have the information from Gladys which I am very grateful for. She emailed
me that information. I will be back that way. That was my initial visit.
Right now, I'm trying to catch up on my rest and many other living matters.
I'm delighted to have now found such great resources! I would love to get to
talk with you in more detail. I am the seventh generation from our ancestor
Greib immigrant Grandfather and have the names of my
Grandfathers/Grandmothers to that point. It's all so fascinating and I am
surely learning so much. Look forward to talking with you in more detail. My
Best, Iris
