Could you or someone out there put me in touch with a Wisconsin Koppa who has info going back to immigration names and dates from your Wisconsin area Koppas. I have much info one of the two Koppa lineages in Texas and it seems Wisconsin is the other largest migration state. Also looking for any other concentrations of Koppa/Kopa family groups who have immigration time names and places. My great grandfather was Josef Kopa/Koppa who immigrated in 1879 with his wife Franziska, two young sons Joseph/Josefa (8) and John/Jana (7)(my grandfather) and daughter Frances/Franziska (16 months) from Vizovice, Moravia. They came on the German Liner "General Werder" and landed in New York then down to Galveston, Texas. They settled for several years in Wesley, Texas before finally moving to Rosebud/Lott/Travis, Tx area. There John married a Rosalie Schiller he met in Wesley and had 7 daughters and my dad, John W Koppa Sr, all raised in Rosebud. The original Josef and Franziska had two more sons, George and Bill. I have info on all 5 lines. There is another group of Koppa's with descendants in Dallas and other Texas cities. Looking to hear from all other groups with similar info as above. I am currently beginning to seek researchers in Moravia present day area for the Koppa line and Bohemia present day area for the Schiller line. Looking for info traders. Keeping in Czech, Tom Koppa [email protected]
