In case this will be of any help, but browsing through some old books at the Manchester District Library, Manchester, Michigan--I found the following handwritten in the front of an ancient German book, a religious book all in old German font. I can't read the title that well. Anyways, here goes:

Micheal Koppberger born March 17 1821 died March 17 1878
Mary Koppberger born January 15 1834 died Sept 10 1885
George Koppberger born March 2 1854 died March 1 1859
John Koppberger born August 18 1856
Barbara Koppberger born November 23 1857 died March 1 1859
Matilda Koppberger born September 9 1859
Julia Koppberger born
Annie Koppberger born August 14 1862
Amelia Koppberger born February 6 1865
Louise Koppberger born March 10 1867
George Koppberger born August 24 1869
Emma Koppberger born November 13 1871
Clarence Koppberger born November 26 1875 died April 14 1876

I believe the name is Koppberger, however the flowing p looks maybe more like Koffberger, or perhaps Kossberger. At any rate, none of these names are in the Message Boards.

The library has a few other old German books, but mostly from other families. I will try to get a picture or scan of this document...which if I get will be available on request.
