Yeehaw! Finally a little activity on this list. Pretty exciting -- there aren't many Caspers in this neck of the woods and I never run into ANYONE else who is researching Caspers. It is great to see the name popping up on this list! I know I have posted this before, but it bears repeating. I am researching CASPERS in Chicago: Christian CASPER b.1825 Germany, son of Valentine CASPER /m. Margaret WALLWORK 1853 Oldham, England/d. 1898 Chicago, Illinois 1. Frederick b.

I would love to hear from any of you where in Europe your Caspers/Cospers are from, especially any towns or provinces you may know. A cousin, I'm sure, Leslie
