My Rudolph (or Rudolf) Stephan was born in Bavaria abt 1837 or 38. He married a Mary Frank in Chillicothe, Ohio in 1866. Mary Frank left a wonderful paper trail but Rudolph did not. Rudolph and Mary had a son named Henry Stephan (g. gramps) who married Bertha Lashell. I followed Mary all the way to Lorain, Ohio in the census records where she shows up as a widow in 1900. Does anyone know anything about Rudolph or his parents? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
