I am looking for any relatives who might have been related to Joseph
Kypta and Anna Kypta of the Shaler,Pa. area.
Joseph died around 1948 (drowning) He left (5) children: Joseph Jr., Carol, Janet, Joyce, and Ronald.
After Joseph's death...Anna Kypta married again and had a daughter Lisa.

Hello Ron,

One of my husband's family names is Gypta. Since in German,
the K and G can be interchanged, we are looking for both.
There are several spellings.

Since the Kypta/Gypta name is relatively rare, we are looking at both spellings. We have made contact with a
lovely couple in Linz, Austria named Werner and Gerde Kypta.
My husband's family was from Austria. When they came to
the States, they settled for a short time in Ohio.

Joseph Gypta was my husband's uncle. They settled in
Illinois.

Would be glad to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Edna M. Ulrich

Surnames: Kypta
Hi Edna,
Thank you for responding to my message. I don't know too much.... Just that my grandfather came from Czech, or around that area somewhere. My father was Joseph Kypta, who might possibly be your husbands uncle. Joseph (My Father) If living today would be (95) years old. Would that be around the age, of the uncle?
My Dad, was a "Paint Mixologist" by trade, and a painter. People would come from all over to have him mix paints. He drowned in 1948 at the age of (42) I know he had some sisters, for sure. I believe their names were: Mary, Helen and Agnes. I am not sure if my father had any brothers. I was (2) years old when he died.
If any of this sounds like someone or somthing, might be related, please let me know. I am really at a loss.....when it comes to the history of the "Kypta's"
Thank's,
Ron

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your reply. My husband's uncle, Joseph
Gypta was born in 1880 in Graz, Austria. His grandfather,
Franz was born 1875 in Graz, Austria. We have record of
Joseph Gypta, father of both Franz and Joseph back to 1855
and his father, Joseph back to 1822 in Graz. We don't know
where he came from before that. When they came to the U.S.,
the settled in Chicago, but spent some time in Cincinnati and Joseph, in the Minnesota area. We have made friends with Werner and Gerde Kypta in Linz, Austria. There are only 6 Kypta's listed in the directory in Austria. We have
also made the aquintance of Jan Kypta in Prague, CZ where
he has said there is a Kypta Square named after a teacher
there. Also, if you go to familysearch.org, the mormon
church web site, you will find Kypta, under the Country of
CZ, there are a couple of Kypta's from the mid 1800's. Also, if you go to www.google.com and put in the name Kypta,
you will come up with several. The name is also spelled
Kipta.

You do not indicate what part of the country you are from.
Please let me know.

Thanks,

Edna Ulrich

Hello Edna,
Thanks for the information. However I really doubt that I would be related to any of those that you mentioned. There is a chance, I am sure....... that they may be "Distant" relatives.
I really wish I had something to go on! I just don't know much at all, when it comes to the
"Kypta" ancestors. Please continue to inform me though. Something you tell me, might "Click!"
I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Lived here all my life, where are you from? I will await your response.

Will share everything with you. Do you know when Joseph
came to this country and from where.

After reading your messages, I think that I could possibly be related to someone you described. Franz Kypta was my great-great grandfather. I do not know much because I am the end of the line, but my father told me he came over from Austria before the borders were closed in WWI I believe. He lived in New York for a while. His son was my dad's father. All of them are now deceased, so I do not know much. I am from a suburb of Atlanta, Ga and have lived here all my life. Do you think that there could be any connection? I have been trying to research my family history for quite some time. Any help would be great!

Surnames: Gypta, Gipta, Kypta, Kipta Ulrich, Windisch, Bauer, Konigshofer,
Yes, I believe you could be. Another note, there are only
6 Kypta's currently in Austria. We have met 5 of them this
year in April. They are lovely people. Do you know where
in Austria your family originated? Our spelling is Gypta/
Gipta. But in old German it is my understanding that G and
K were interchangeable. The Kypta family we know live near
Linz, Austria. There is another in Vienna and plan to contact that person when we visit next. Our family originated near Graz, Austria around 1822 or that's as far
back as we have been able to trace the family.

Please keep in touch. You have a very interesting email
address. After the holidays we can sit down and compare
notes.

Sincerely,

Edna Ulrich

I was born in Marietta, Ga in 1984. And as far as I know a lot of my family (still alive) has been born there. And we have no clue where our last name is originated from. If anyone as any idea let me know please.
