According to Will-Grundy Counties, Illinois Genealogical Society Quarterly, Autumn 1999, Vol XVIII, No. 1, Giovanni Franco Tepatti married Emma Elizabeth Dirkes who is a sister to my ggg grandmother, Sophia Dirkes, from Pecklesheim, Germany. Could Michael Vidmar please contact me as I have more information on Dirkes family. Thank you Will-Grundy Co. Genealogy Society-for we have been looking for other members of this family.
