23 November 1998 Ellen, Thank you for this information. Yes, I would be interested in the other Rippy information. These Rippy's can be such a tangled mess you never know who's going to tie back into your line. I keep all information, it's not that common a surname, and share we others. Most of what I have I hope to tie together some day as I'm sure it probably does. Leaving to go down south for Thanksgiving, be back sometime next week. Thank you.
