I recently had the fun of meeting a distant cousin by the name of Steve Morphew, along with his wife and two children. Steve and his family live near Terril, Iowa. I have been in email contact with them for a couple of months and met face to face for some family talk on 9-25-99. It was especially enjoyable because my brother Nolan and his wife Katie drove over from Nora Springs to take part in this mini family reunion. We had a splendid afternoon eating brats and apple crisp and sharing memories. Steve brought along five pictures which his wife Marcia and I scanned and I load them here for your perusal. Steve has an intense interest in preserving family history and we will expect some family updates from him in the near future. In his words, "the Morphew/Murphy books are good but they need to be updated by three generations." He has vowed to do his part by continuing for his family where the older books left off. If you're looking for his connection, his father is Lee Morphew and is documented in the original books which are scanned and located on this site. Lee's family is noted in the Second Book (page 147, entry 877. My sincere thanks for Steve's contribution to this website. Steve's email address is: smorphew@netins.net (Larry Morphew, ed.)
