Sympathy to the "distant" cousins of our Shepp family. We have the family tree back to 1798 & before, and the names and most cemeteries where buried. Anyone insterested in seeing their name among my records compiled for at least 50 years, please contact me. We do research as a hobby and love meeting our distant relatives. Sincere sympathy from "Mike" and "Indie" Shepp - Mike's Dad born in York, Pa. His Dad a 3rd cousin to Charles. Almost all cousins with Shepp name are deceased, it seems.
Please let me hear from you, or a family member interested in research. Charles was a handsome man as so many Shepp's were, and still are.
