    - Rachel Makeeff (128 cMs) is a match to me. She is likely the granddaughter of Clinton Hovis and Louise Berger; possibly the daugher of Ruth Hovis and Emil Makeeff. No documentation to support this. (Jan16, 2020, this match is not registered onThruLines.)
    - Lindsey Frohlich (39 cMs) is a match to me. She is possibly the granddaughter of Ruth Hovis and Emil Makeeff, great granddaughter of Clinton and Louise Hovis. Connections are still private (Sept2019). It is unknown how Lindsey and Rachel might be related.
