Hi Len I now live in St. Joseph, Mo. My family came to Kans in 1868 from Capon Bridge W. Va.It is believed as handed down that my 4 grt grd father George Cooper is actualy the Georg Kueffer who came from Switzerland with his parents Hans Dubbendorfer Kueffer and Lisbeth Keller and other children. He apparently changed his name to Cooper at time of Oath o fAlegence to America. I have all of my Cooper ancestors back to & including George who married Mary Ruckman. I have all of his children and so on down the line to myself. I am trying to put proof of him coming from Swiss in the record along with the source. If U can help please do so.

Hi Ellis Nice to know you can trace your ancestry back to 1868. My ggrandfather William Thomas Cooper(1804-1887) came from Washington County,Maine before settling in Canada.I think a lot of U.S.A. citizens came here for free land grants. Don't seem to be able to go back any further at this time,but there is hope as some of the small villages and towns are now forming geneoligical and historical societies.
