As you can see from my numerous/previous postings, I am very involved in Stepp/Stapp family research. In trying to track down my own line, I have come accross alot of valuable information on other lines. I will continue to post this information on the Stapp and Stepp genforum boards.
I am currently in the Marine Corps and stationed at MCLB Albany, Georgia...a perfect spot for researching the southern Stapp families...I go to the archives on a regular basis, but I need your help and information to sort every individual out. Right now I'm looking at about 5 different John Step/Stepp/Stepps all living in GA at the same time!
