She is a language graduate, fluent in French, Spanish and Russian with some knowledge of German. She began exploring the Klappers’ European family history independently of Richard and Fred Klapper about 15 years ago, before their paths crossed leading them to merge their findings and to work together to complete this book.
Fred Klapper lives with his wife, Pam, and they have a son, Andrew. They live in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Fred has been an active genealogist for approximately 35 years, starting at a time where he could question and document stories from his grandparents, aunts and uncles. During that time he came across documents from his great aunt Lizzie which formed the basic information for portions of this book.
Richard Klapper lives with his wife, Linda and their silky terrier. They divide their time between Alvin, Texas and Estes Park, Colorado. Richard has been an active genealogist for approximately 20 years. In addition to researching his family lines he has published two previous books on two of his other family lines.view less
