My Family is from this area

My Parents and Grandparents are all Parkston and Tripp families dating back to 1880's. My Grandfathers name was John Schilling who married Amelia Bratz. Five children all born in Parkston - Margaret, Jake, Mae ,Bertha and John (who was my father).

On my mother's side, The Lippert family from Tripp, there were nine sisters and one brother, some of whom are still living in Tripp. I'm sure I have many, many cousins in this part of the country. By the way, I live in Portland, Oregon. I'm 63 years old and came to Oregon in 1937. I'm married to an Oregon girl and have two sons and two granddaughters.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone from my past. Someday I would enjoy visiting the area to see where my roots are.

Thanks, Cliff Schilling
