Leo Steffan

I've been seaching for years to come up with a possible father for grandpa (illigitamate). The other day I went into Ancestry.com and found this: Leo Stephan born April 09, 1854, Speicherz, Unterfranken, Germany. It is found in the LDS library Batch: 2170493, Sheet 25 Source Call Number: 1553898. I need to do somemore digging, but the age is about right....and maybe he was in the service at the time and met ggrandma that way. But it's a start. Also he is the son of Jesepha Stepan...note all three different spellings. The evolve over time. m

Hi Mary:
Well, I think you're finally getting close. If you try the passenger lists now, maybe that will help too. It has been an interesting search and it's nice that you now have the time to pursue it. Good Luck.
Phil, it's great to see the document, photos of the school and your story. I'd love to have a copy of the land document and the school photo, if possible. Thanks, Denise

Denise, I think you can right click on the picture and document and save it to your computer...if that doesn't work let me or Phil know we both have electronic copies of it. m
