Dallas, Raymond, Essie, Lloyd are children of John and Leota Sierp of Indianapolis, Ind. These people are my mothers cousins. My grandmother, Nora E. Sierp Klein, was John Sierp's sister. I was acquainted with Dallas, Lloyd and Raymond. My great grandfather was John Henry Jobson Sierp and his wife was named Elizabeth J. Hoagland Sierp. If you receive this message, please reply. I am searching for Hoagland ancestors. I have the Sierp history back to the 16th century in Germany. Betty K. Strange
