<p>[QUOTE=&quot;morgen94, post: 85005, member: 217&quot;]I have been considering bakersgma&#039;s comments about Alma&#039;s purported &#039;wealthy family from upstate New York&#039; and I, too, was unable to find any additional information to support that. I did, however, find the same Alma Frappia, artist, in the Ohio directory, as was mentioned earlier, and I found Alma Frappie (sic) in Ohio in the 1880 census. She was recorded as a 22 year old female (thus with a birth year of ca. 1858) boarding in Ohio and born in Canada. Her occupation was recorded as seamstress.</p><p><br /></p><p>I then found quite a few Frappies in Stanstead in Quebec in 1871, where a five year old Alma was the oldest child of farmers Ephraim and Diseta(?) Frappie there, but the birth years don&#039;t match, so...</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I found a 26 year old (thus born ca. 1863) artist named Alma A. Frappa recorded on a New-York-bound 1889 ship&#039;s passenger list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
