Yes please, I would like to have any information you can give me on the predecessors of Casper George Wise. I'm sure you read my last posting, but I will repeat part of it. Casper was the son of George Wise and Mary Ragen. They were married in Indiana, location unknown, and Casper was born in 1863 in Indiana. At some point in time they moved to Wapello co. Iowa. It isn't much but its all I have, I hope you can get me back on track again.
