My great grandfather, Henry Rupers 1841 - 1916, is said to have come to America from Prussia as a stow away about 1856. He listed himself as having served in the American Civil War as a CSA Virginia veteran. I seek any information for persons named RUPERS in the 19th century records of Germany and the town where the RUPERS families lived. R. H. Rupers, Cincinnati, Ohio; rrupers@fuse.net

Mr. Ron Rupers,
the name RUPERS is not in not be be found today in Germany, so I would speculate,
there has been a change in reading and writing. Similar c o m m o n names to look
for are RUPERT, RUPERTS, RUPERTUS, RUPERTI, R�PERS. Greetings Hans Peter Albers
