Vera--We are related. Ada and Anna were sisters to my grandpa Bill born 1883 in Brown County, SD. I knew Ada. In fact her daughter, Erna, my godmother, just died last year. Anna was gone before I was around. I have traced the Paepkes back to Adam...i. e., Adam Paepke who was born in 1736 in Altentreptow, Germany. Hope to hear more from you. God bless--Bill Paepke Email me at
