If you are not aware, his parent's Lawrnce D. Walling and Amy Kathrine 
Wetter (and their ancestors)  are listed at www.findagrave.com.  Marcella 
Schleuger and my acnestry goes back to 1737s in the Darmstadt area 
Germany. The original spelling of our surname was Schleucher.  Our 
ancesters migrated to Norka, Russia in 1767 and then to the United States 
in 1906. The attached files is the information that I have on the 
descendants Darrold and both of his wives, Alpha and Marcella.  I also 
include the information on Marcella's first husband, Eugene Larson.  I did 
not include the information on Marcella's daugher, Shelia.  Sheila is 
currently reviewing and updating her information due to a number of name 
spelling and date errors (most of her information was from my mother's 
files which I received after she passed away).  Additionally, I attached 
Marcella's pedigree chart.

Schrieber, the Norka Village Coordinator who I copied on this e-mail.  You
