Hi, My mother, Grace P. SIMPSON was born in Washington, Iowa in 1909. Her parents were George Lyman SIMPSON and Sarah Coru DENCKER. They married in Washington. Henry DENCKER was born in 1853 in Germany. He is one of my dead ends. He was a ships cook that went from Europe back to the East coast. He married Lucrita VLEREBOME in N. J. She was born there and I have a lot of information on her line and her mothers line - STRYKER. If anyone on the list connects in some way please let me know. Thank you and stay cool.
