I am a Bipes, My Grandmother has told me that the family came over ( some time in in the early 1800's ? ) They settled in Southern MN. The thing that struck me was that there was only one couple. Do the names, John, Wilbur, Rosella, or Simmon, or the town of Brownton, MN, mean anything to you?
If you're still interested, please email me back.

Sincerely;

Patricia Bipes
