Researching: RIPPL, RIPPEL
I am searching for information about the following individuals (the information below is copied verbatim from Leo Baca's "Czech Immigration Passenger Lists, Vol. VII" published in 1998): Rippel, Franz 46, Anna 40, Marie 13, Wolfgang 11, Franz 10, Anna 8, Therese 3, Clara 3/4, Bohemia; Ems, 29 March 1892; Wisconsin. I believe the spelling of the surname to be incorrect. Our name has always been spelled Rippl, without any Es. Franz/Frank is my great-great grandfather. He and his family eventually settled in Menasha, Winnebago County, Wisconsin. It is my understanding that they came from a village in Bohemia named "Grun" or "Gruen." Any information about where this village was in 1892 and whether or not it exists in any form today would be most appreciated.Thank you!

James Wedderburn m. Janet Berry and had three sons James, John and Robert, as well as other issue. These three brothers were amongst the earliest Scottish reformers, having united to produce the famous 'Gude and Godlie Ballates, or 'Wedderburn Psalms. The eldest son, James had two sons, John and James. John settled as a physician in Moravia, and left issue, whose descendants are believed to be still flourishing on the Continent, under the name Wetterborn." This is an extract from an 1896 publication "The Wedderburn Book", suggesting that a Moravian branch of the family may still have existed at that time.

My G-grandfather was b.22 March 1869 in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. He married to Barbara Moravec b. 17 March 1873-4 on 29 October 1892 at St. Paul, Nebraska with the Honorable Judge J.R. Horton presiding. The marriage license states that his parents are John and Dora or Dova Jarash. Her parent is John Moravec no mother listed. My family has always maintained that his mothers name was Therese and the 1900 census bears that out. I know Barbara had at least one sister Mary who married Frank Jolley.
