    1. [NYDUTCH] Newspaper Story 1909
    2. Rover Barth
    3. Greetings Everyone, I happened to stumble on a 1909 Brooklyn Eagle article that uncovered what happened to my Grand Aunt who disappeared in the family history and need some help or advise. The article I am looking for is news for August 31, 1909 and about the elopement of Alexina van Spall and George Stanko. Mr. Stanko was part of a gypsy group at a fair who captured my 22 year old newly arrived in US grand aunt Alexina's heart. She sneaked out of the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Bastian Tuyt and disappeared with Mr. Stanko. I did find a disjointed article on this for this date but it's impossible to make sense of it with all of the other news jumbled with it. I could only make out parts of it and recognized names and addresses so I know this is the right family. Any advice or thoughts would be so helpful! This has been a long standing mystery for the family. Here's the link to the site where I did find this information: The Brooklyn Daily Eagle , <https://www.newspapers.com/title_1890/the_brooklyn_daily_eagle/>Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday, August 31, 1909 Thank you. Marie Researching: van Spall, Tuijt/Tuyt, Ooykaas, Henke
