Vicky, I don't know if you are familiar with it, but there is a nice website for the early VA Stapp/Stepps. I ran across it as I was searching everywhere at one time for a Thomas Cooper in Virginia. I have a 2g aunt Rhoda/Rada Stepp who married my uncle Presley Patterson "Uncle Pat" Marsh in the Missouri Ozarks around 1900, give or take. I don't really know any Stepp/Stapp researchers though. Here it is: http://www.ydg.com/stepp/ Good Luck, Janet Hunter In a message dated 9/3/2003 5:44:46 PM Pacific Daylight Time, lyonslady@frontiernet.net writes: > Need help in finding parents of two STAPP brides.
