Dear Listers, I am attempting to locate some confirmation of the first marriage of Frederike Riepe. My ggGrandfather Henry Shappard (Johann Heinrich Schabbehard) had a sister born Fredericke (b.1851in Germany) who later shows up on an 1883 marriage record to John C.Ellerbrook. It lists this as her second marriage. She also shows up as a god parent on one of her sister Annie's children's christening records at St. Stephens as Fredericke Reipe. I would like to know if someone has knowledge of the connection. Thanks! Phil Shappard Winfield, IL
