Has anyone encountered the name LUPHER? It doesn't look exactly German to me but it doesn't look exactly anything else either and I wonder if it is German or modified from something German. My other greatgrandmother, Rosetta LUPHER, was born I think in the 1840s in Crawford Co, a long way from the Dutch country, but I know nothing about her family before that and I am trying to get some sort of handle on it. The name appears to be rather rare. Any help or suggestions of any kind received with gratitude. -- jan <janiceaf@ix.netcom.com> Researching names: FRANK, KELLER, LUPHER, PENROSE, SCHULTZ, TAYLOR ==== PENNA-DUTCH Mailing List ==== New?
