Dear Jeffrey
I added all your birth, marriage and death certificates.
I looked at Meda "Ada" and Grace Cable records.
They still are a mystery. Especially the marriage of Meda in 1895 to Caneel.
She would have been 15 or 16. Then there is no marriage certificate of Meda
and John VanRiper. It says on 1900 census that VanRiper is her first
marriage.
Now on Grace if we had her married name and she d in CA we could find out
things quickly because deaths of CA are on line. Oh, well, the mysteries go
on.
