Through the Guest Book in the Max website, www.maxnd.com, another request has come in. This is from Mary Frizzell at 4425 E. Frederick Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99217. Her email address is: mmarlys@comcast.net. She writes the following: "Good day, I hope you can assist me. I am a daughter of a family line named Doepke. Before Doepke was the family name of Carvell, and prior to this name was the name House. Now my mother told me that my Great Grandmother (Martha House Carvell) was the first lady to ever live in Max, North Dakota. Now where in I hope you can help me.....do you have information on the early days of Max? Do you have records of the early settlers? My mother also mentioned the family name Meiser, but I do not know if this was before Carvell, or if it was on the maternal or paternal side. Anything you have would be a great help. I anxiously await your information by email or by regular mail. I do not use sites like ancestry.com (too expensive). Thank you, Mary M. Frizzell. Mother's maiden name was Doepke. Many Doepke's still live today throughout North Dakota."
