Family query

[edit]

I stumbled upon someone who may be his grandson at http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/highschool/story/162311.html?imw=Y . A subsquent google search for the term Doug Rifenburg football Buffalo yielded a link to http://www.ubathletics.buffalo.edu/football/stats/fbrecordbook.pdf, which may have another Rifenburg I have not yet found. That link had the following Google preview clip: Buffalo’s last season in “Big Time”football for over 20 years. ...... Doug Rifenburg. P.J. Riga ______ 1990. Leroy Riley_________1960-61 ...

Another Rifenburg approximately the same age as the one above played football for Santa Clara: http://www.letthemplay.com/roster-a92.htm .--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 15:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More family info citation requests: born to Dorothy Marie Shannon-Rifenburg and Paul Almond Rifenburg, and Also surviving thier brother Dick is Gerald Thomas Rifenburg of Williamsville NY and Toni Sue Rifenburg-Walker of Flagler Beach Florida. Seem believable. Is this sourced or coming from a family member?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 00:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
