Good Evening!

In the early 1900's my grandparents, Frederick Stoll & Johanna Reppuhn, left their home and traveled by ship to the US.

Over one hundred years later, the internet allows us to travel the world without leaving our homes.

We're able to communicate with friends and family; whether they be in faraway places or just down the street.

We are able to meet people and learn things we could never have experienced at the time my grandparents crossed the ocean.

Our family has grown from one to many, in the generations that have passed. Many last names have merged into our family.

Whatever the case may be; whether you're family, a friend, or just visiting. Welcome to our online home.

Thanks for visiting,
Fred
