A few years ago I was contacted by Al DeCostaFaro regarding my connection to Bela Kaple as he was a Master in the Masons. He said that they were going to have a celebration in July of 2004 in honor of Bela Kaple. I have been trying to contact Mr. DeCosta Faro at the email address I had but have not gotten any response. I have other Kaple family members who would like more information on this celebration so we can attend in honor of him. If anybody knows anything on this or if Mr. DeCosta Faro is out there can somebody please email me at Krenshawa@aol.com with the details so I can pass the information on to the other members who are interested. Thank you. Marlene Andes (descendant of Bela's brother Orlando Kaple)

An ancestor of mine, Johannes David Karcher, who lived in Brooklyn, Kings, New York (downstate) all his life, is listed by his cemetery as having died in Plainfield, NY in 1874. I am at my wits end trying to determine why he would go upstate & die there. Wondering if there are Karcher relatives in Plainfield? There is no death certificate, since the state, county & town do not keep records back that far. Help!

My great grandmother was Abigail (Abby) KELLOGG, b. 18 Aug 1834 in Otsego County, NY. She later married a Joseph Sheely b.2 Apr 1835, Millersburg, Holmes Co. OH. Both are buried in Shellsburg, Benton Co., OH. The information I have is from her daughter's (my grandmother), Vinta Sheely's 1935 journal. According to the 1880 census Abby's parents were both born in NY.
Would anyone have more information on Abby's birth and names of her parents?
