george Stocker was my great grandfather---he also had a daughter named emma,born in starke
county,Indiana---that was my grandmother--who married henry Rabey---they had six
children,including my dad,george rabey and his twin,my uncle william.My dad died in
1995(b.1910) In doing some research I found both of my paternalgreat grandparents were
from a town in Alsace france called Steinseltz.They married in n.york(wonder if theres a
love story in there somewhere?) We all ended up in Chicago--My grandfather was a teacher
in a lutheran school and all my relatives ,living and dead were and are pretty strong
lutherans! When I was a kid we used to ride out to Knox,Ind. to visit the Swansons!I
never knew until I started this geneology stuff exactly how we were related!
