The Steffens family of Cleveland, Ohio is searching for our relatives Mary and Porgy Gape.

We are completing the history of the descendants of Claus Steffens (1837-1901), an immigrant from Malstedt, Germany who moved to Cleveland, Ohio. He had two wifes, Inga Marie Otten, who died in Germany, and Adelheit "Ella" Pepper, who immigrated to the U.S. with Claus.

Mary and Porgy Gape are the daughters of Adele "Del" N. Steffens (1898-Before 1948) and Leo B. Gape. Leo listed his parents as Thomas Gape and Mary Gallagher.

Leo and Del were married in Cleveland on July 31, 1924.

We believe that Leo moved to the Chicago area with the girls after Del's death.

There is a reunion planned for the Summer of 2002.
