--0-1590421475-1027881713=:19392 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Note: forwarded message attached. Halito All: The original question is attached. It is clearly a genealogical question. That the discussion needed to get into history, culture, etc. doesn't change the fact that it is being done to answer a genealogical question, which if asked on the other site would have been referred back to this site. It doesn't make sense to chase discussions all over the web, and who would do that anyway? It makes more sense that a discussion remain where it started. As I stated, this is the third time that I have been thwarted in pursuing lines of inquiry, and what I consider to be important questions about my ancestry were not pursued. As in this case, the discussion is dropped and the questions will not be answered. So what am I doing here? I am leaving this list to the purists who are watching to make certain that nothing occurs on this site but the sterile listing of surnames.

Now I Know the name Hopiah means leader and that it would usually be associated with another name, such as Humma. As in Hopiah Humma (Red Leader) for example. I have noticed that the Tubbees, for example, seem to be related. Then at some point they used that last part of their name as a surname, i.e. Tubbee. So I was wondering if the same thing was going on with John Harper. That is, that they were using Hopiah as a surname for a while and then had to give it up for some reason and started using Harper. I also wanted to know if all of the Hopiahs could be related, as it appears with the Tubbees, and if I could use this as a clue in my searches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
