The Purpose of Blog

The purpose of compiling information on David Lapray, 1845-1900, his father, John Lapray and David's three spouses (Sarah Dees, Henryetta Hoffman, and Elizabeth Alice Egbert) and his ten children; 1) Sarah Dees, mother of David Lapray (Jr.) and William Lapray; 2) Henryetta Hoffman, mother of John Lapray, Samuel Lapray, Albert Lapray, Sarah Adelia Lapray, and Elmer Ellsworth Lapray; and 3) Elizabeth Alice Egbert mother of Howard Lapray, Hyrum Calvert Lapray and Chester Lapray; is to hopefully tie together past research and offer new beginnings for future research on the Lapray ancestral lines which we now know through DNA analysis goes back to the Burgundy/Burgoyne area of France.
