Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Gk.2ADI/1152 Message Board Post: I am looking for information in regard to my great grandmother Mary (Maria) Catherine Hoffmann Lappe. Her husband, my great grandfather was Fredrick Wilhelm Lappe. They both came from Germany but they did not marry until they had come to the USA. They lived in Carroll, Iowa and I know they are buried there because I went to their graves. They had 5 children together: Anthony Bernard (my grandfather), William Joseph, Elizabeth, Catherine and Arnold. She was born in 1851 according to the paper that I do have and died October 18,1927. If anyone knows anything about Mary or her family I would really like to speak with you. Thank you for any and all your help. Nancy
