Re: Looking for other Gappas
Hi Christopher, Which Gappa line do you descend from? My Grandmother was Barbara Margaret Gappa, daughter of Mathias Gappa and Catherine "Katrina" Brass. Mathias came from Fluto, Prussia, Germany and him and his wife are buried Catholic Cemetery, Whittemore, Kossuth Co., Iowa. There are so few Gappa's that I believe somehow they must be connected by the generation that came to the USA from Germany. Hope to hear from you, jackie Forsythe for_syth@pacbell.net
