Gripe and Cripe are the same family. Perhaps you already know this. The spelling on the immigrant ancestor's baptism record was Greib. This sounds very close to Gripe when an English-speaking person says it. I would suggest we leave the name Cripe, since that is what we use today. Barbara's father was John Cripe and her mother was Elizabeth Rench. Those two may already be in wikitree, since John was a son of the immigrant ancestor. I am new at this so don't feel comfortable yet with identifying correct parents when multiple profiles are out there. Please reply if you have questions. Barbara is not my ancestor, but I am researching my branch of the Cripe family and she is in my database.

Hi John,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or special event. Review the project page to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

PS Posting the message below for Debi means that she never got it unless you sent another one directly to her by going to her profile and posting it there or sending her a private message. Do you still need an answer to your question? Let me or Debi know.

Hi Debi --

Thank you for your note. I have worked on genealogies in the past but this is the first time I've tried to do it in a collaborative setting like Wikitree. What motivated me to get involved is possession of a fairly extensive (56-page) compilation of Deeter genealogy prepared by my aunt, Bernice (Deeter) Eller (Deeter-108) some forty years ago. This document agrees very well with existing Wikitree profiles where they overlap, and fills in several substantial gaps as well. Yes, I was already aware of Abraham Deeter (he's a direct ancestor), which shows how far back BDE's compilation goes. I have one question: do you have a suggestion about how to make a scanned copy of my aunt's genealogy easily available to the Wikitree community?

I'm here to help with questions about how WikiTree works. Just click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page. I'll get back to you by the end of the day.

Debi ~ WikiGreeter

PS I found an existing profile for a Abraham Deeter who might be your ancestor. Does the info look familiar?

PPS Did you discover that the tags on your profile are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? You can add more, up to 20 total.
