Hi, searching for Gloria Culpepper (last seen on the lists in 2004) or anyone with STIFFEY/STIFFY/STEFFY/STEFFEY family ties, especially Conrad and Mary CONNER STIFFEY of mostly Westmoreland, but also Armstrong & Indiana Counties in PA. There's alot of confusing info out there but I think I've got these families straightened out and would love to compare the information with others. Deb in FL
