Continue to seek information on my gg grandparents,Herman Paape and Maria (Demand - maiden name) Paape. Both were born in Germany and emigrated to Wisconsin, (in or around Neenah) with theiir respective families. Exact dates unknown. Also, believe they were married after coming from Germany.
They settled in the township of Gardner in the community of Luce, which was part of the Buffalo County. They had a family of 8 children, Herman, Chris, Malinda (my grandmother), Henry, William, Emil, Robert, and Mary. All of the children went by the surname of 'Pope.'
GG grandfather, Herman Paape, name change came about during the Civil War. His roll call rocords showed that he entered the service with his original name. He was a member of the Union Wisconsin Volunteeers, 34th Regiment, He registered in Appleton, Wisconsin, on November 10, 1862 and was mustered out on September 08, 1863, as Herman Pope. He was born in Germany on 27 October, 1830, and died on August 03, 1909.
GG grandmother, Maria Paape, was also born in Germany in about 1839. She died on February 16, 1908 at the age of 69 years.
I would appreciated hearing from anyone who knows of this family.
