Nancy - you will have to let us know how the gathering goes! Being in California, I can't quite hie off over to Ohio, much as I'd like to.
Tamme, you're right in that we all are related. From what Jeanne has come up with, the original family name was spelled vastly differently in Switzerland and had gone through many variations in spelling, and if I understand it correctly, there are NO other Benepes in the world with that spelling, other than our Dr. Benepe and his descendants. Amazing, isn't it? Anytime you see a "Benepe" listed anywhere you know that is a cousin...small world indeed!
