Please send me a message on my e mail above, then I can reply and it will go into my address book correctly. I would prefer to correspond that way. The rest of the internet scares me but I love my e mail since I am deaf and cannot use a telephone. Shirley Spease I misunderstood your message and thought you meant the father of George was George. The father of George is Johann Spiess and his wife is Maria Magdalena Benner. They have ten children. George and Lucy have six. All I have on William is three children: Pearl, Erma who married George J. Riter; and Fern Spease. George and Emma Riter have one child Fern Riter and resided in Brookings, s. D. I would love the info on william's family and you are welcome to all I have. I have Spease back in Germany. Please send me an e mail to spease@pcii.net Thank you, shirley spease
