They are buried in West Newton. Am also trying to track down their oldest daughter - Mary Alice CLINE. Alice was born in May 1879 in Virginia and was living with her father (Samuel) at the time of his death. To the best of my knowledge, Alice never married and died in Pennsylvania sometime between 1920 and 1930. Samuel and Malinda had 4 other children: Maggie (1872-1930) m. Joseph White (1862-1943) - they lived in Wincehester, Virginia. They had 3 children. Charles (1877 - 1931) m. Clara White (1873 - 1954) - they lived in Wincehester, Virginia. They had one son (my grandfather). William John (1880 - ?) m. Maggie Pifer (abt 1884 - ?) - they lived in various places in Western PA (Allegheny County). They had one daughter. Edward Clarence (1883 - 1955) m. Stella Dixon (1883 - 1958) - they also lived in various places in Western PA and are buried in West Newton. They had 11 children. Thanks Diana

Surnames: Hopej,Hoppej,Hopey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2dB.2ACI/2703.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank-you for that bit of info. I only went by what my grandmother said after the fact. Their is so many ways the Hopej's who came to America while at Ellis island stated where they were from: Austria, Hungary, Zigiestow, Kluknava, etc. My main point is the Hopej surname spelling whether this was a typo at Ellis Island for in Slovakia there is the spelling of Hoppej of today. As my grandparents did not tell me anything about their family they left behind; or the other relatives who came to the U.S. Which makes it all the harder to find family members with this surname for its been nearly one hundred yrs since they moved to America. So theres many generations missing. Without the descendants of their lineage doing genealogy researching now I feel it very hard to make a family connection. I am trying to do my part in the postings and maybe someday when they want to know they will see these queries and learn from them and find our family.
