It is a pleasure to hear from you. I have been talking with a number of your siblings over the past 20 years. We have a Rival Bellerose website listing over 11800 of your relatives, past and present. If you would like to join us let me know at henry469@metrocast.net You could add some pictures and stories of your family and trace them back to 1500 in France when the family name was Ripvat. I will be waiting to hear from you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
