Thanks to Herbert, we now know two more generations of my personal ancestors – on my father’s side – though any connection to the Jeppes he is researching remains unknown and – at the moment – actually fairly unlikely.
Jürgen Jeppe’s – my father’s – ancestry currently stands like this:
- Jürgen Jeppe, Parents: Paul Alois Jeppe + Irmgard Elisabeth geb Fiebrandt
- Paul Alois Jeppe: Father: Christian Gustav Heinrich Jeppe, 1885-1979
- Christian Gustav Heinrich Jeppe: Father was Johannes Matthias Jeppe
We really don’t more yet, but considering a few years ago I didn’t even know my grandfather’s full name this is quite a bit of progress!
Thank you Herbert!
Yes, and we know the name of Johannes Matthias Jeppe´s wife. Her name was Margarethe Dorothea Christiane Jeppe, born Pegur (or Peyur). And we know that Johannes Matthias Jeppe was a “Buchbinder” and they lived in Heiligenhafen in 1885, that´s shure!
Regards, Herbert
