[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 82091, member: 423"] Actually I'm related to very few if any Reis', Piatz's, Gross' and Weigel's. My mother was a Sperle and her mother was a Becker. Most had large families and married locally so that ties me to at least half the home growns even though there are not a lot of Sperles left there. The other half of the town is related through my dad's side who was not a Reis, Gross, Weigel, Piatz or Jangula. By the way, The Kleppe's were from Kintyre and were not Greman-Russian so they have very few relatives in Napoleon. Also, many of the star Bismarck athletes over the years have parents or grandparents from Napoleon. Some of the more notables were: Brunner, Welder, Engelhart, Johnson, Gums, Dreager, Lang, Wentz, Becker, Schumacher, etc., etc. Not too many basketball players (except the girls) but lots of wrestlers and some football players. The McClery's and Laber's were born in Napoleon but their parents were immigrants. ;-) [/QUOTE]
