I have little doubt that we are on the right track. Actually, my Great-grandfather's name was Lewis, and I do believe that his wife's name was Minnie (Rodda). I do not have my geneological information at my office to check.
My grandfather was George Tipp, and his wife (my grandmother) was actually Christine Tipp.
It seems to me after seeing your last name that you may have already had contact with my Uncle George Tipp (formerly of National City California, and now in Puyallup, Washington) regarding our common ancestry. We have traced our family (as indicated in my earlier posting) to John Henry Tipp, and have quite a lot of information relating to the family tree.
George (i.e., Uncle George) has the most comprehensive information relating to our linage. He can be reached at
gdt@msn.com and it would be a good idea for the two of you to get into contact -- if you haven't already. In the mean time, have forwarded your posting to him.
