The trail has led from the Bronx, NY to Mt Hebron Cemetery

After 15 years of tracing multiple generations of Van Riper family members across the all 5 boroughs of NYC a kind internet acquaintance led me to a family plot in Mt Hebron Cemetery which dated back to the mid 1800s.  This opened a door that I had been searching to find for over 10 years.  Now the quest is to dig deeper and find out what the family tie was to the Montclair area!
