Hi Jupstroms out there!
I know we are very few, but I'm trying to find more information about my Grandfather's, Charles D. Jupstrom, side of the family for my own personal geneology. He was born in Michigan on July 16th 1904 and died in May of 1978. He was married to Norma who was born March 28, 1909 and died in March of 1983. He lived in Kent county, in Grand Rapids, Michigan the whole time I knew him, but I do know he also lived in Cadillac, Michigan. Norma and Charlie had two children Donald Charles Jupstrom (my father) and Donna Jupstrom. My father, Don was born February 10, 1928 and died October 9, 1998. Donna lives in Jenison, Michigan with her husband Richard Holmgren. They have 4 children, Steve, Sandy, Dave and Mark. Sandy lives in Florida and the other 3 children live in Michigan. My father and his wife, Beverly Caskey, have two children, me, Debra Kae Jupstrom/McGovern and Tamara Renee Jupstrom/Savard. I do know that there were two P's in the Jupstrom name, but one was dropped. I'm not exactly sure why, maybe for convenience sake? I don't know; maybe someone out there knows. Also, way back, the name was spelled D'Juppstrom. Again I'm not sure why that was changed either. If anyone knows any information about my Grandfather, Charles D. Jupstrom I would really appreciate it.
Than you all,
Debbie Jupstrom/McGovern
