Diane,
]My name is Charles Joseph Gippe. My Grandfather was Joseph Charles Gippe. He had a brother, Frank Gippe, who I understand to be Everett's father. I didn't know there is an Everett Jr. but we are apparently related. I live in Kenmore Wa. My grandfather and great grandfather Fredrich are both buried in Snohomish Wa.
I've just started looking for relatives and thier seems to be quite a few of us. I just met some of Sophia Gippe/Henning/Cervenka's line, she's a sister to Frank and my grandfather, my great aunt.
This summer I visited one of my grandfather's brother's home, my great great uncle Heinrich's place in Minnesota, which is on the National Historic Register. His old log cabin is also in a pioneer village museum in Monte Video. I learned a lot there.
If I can answer any questions please feel free to get in touch.
