Thankyou for your e mail ,yes it is Peter Casper born 1823 ? in Germany I am looking for,we think he was born in Cochem. do you think that your Peter could have been a grandfather or such like, they tended to hand the family names down didn't they?We have heard that there was a big fire in the village of Senheim near Cochem in 1839, all but 7 houses were destroyed as the villagers were working up in the vinyards, thus a lot of documents etc. were lost, maybe this was one of the reasons some of the people decided to travel abroad to start a new life?Our Peter came to England & married here in 1842, so those dates could tie in.It's great to know that there are so many Casper's out there.Ron's parent's died when he was young & he & his brothers were fostered so loosing all trace of their Casper family, we are having great excitment finding out about them. Hope to hear from you again all our best wishes from Ron & Gill C.
