Harm Harms Kuper (Kuiper)
Source: FHL Weener Church Recs microfilm # 1256904 - marriage of son Harm Harms Kuper.
The christening record of Anna Kuper in June 1861 has a father named Harm Harms Kuper. The Ostfriesens have a naming convention for those men named after their father. In many cases, a son will have his father's name as a middle name with an "s" appended. Harm Harms Kuper would have a father, Harm Kuper if normal naming convention were followed.
Birth source: Author: Hull, La Rie, Title: chart of Holthuserheide Kuper families, (Publication location: Fergus Fls., MN, Publisher: LH, Publication date: postmarked xii Dec MCMXCIV).
LaRie Hull writes, "P.S. - second marriage for Harm Harms Kuper to Grietje Berends Klaasen - is the father of Harm Harms Kuper (Hermina Troff). Note # 1256903 on the marriage record of father states he's a widower of deceased Jan Jans." - xii Dec MCMXCIV - Fergus Fls., MN.
20 Mar 1836 Marriage rec. to Grietje seems to indicate Harm is 35 yrs 6 mo. That would give him a date of birth ca. Sept 1800.
Mrs. Hull writes, "Your wife's [Betty Katherine (Meyer) Navorska] ancestry. Can't find [Harm Harms Kuper] his birth or his marriage with parents listed." - xii Dec MCMXCV - Fergus Fls., MN.
Mrs. Hull writes, "Bastian Harms Kuper ... died 5-Aug-1865 at age 68 leaving 3 sisters." - xii Dec MCMXCV
This means all brothers, including Harm Harms Kuper & Folkert Harms Kuper are dead on or before the 5th of Aug. 1865. - D.A. Navorska - Irving TX
Harm Harms Kuper's wives: 1) Janna Jans
2) Grietje Berends Klaassen
Mrs. Hull writes, "NO PROVE THESE ARE HIS PARENTS --NAME PATTERN FITS AND AGE IS OK.???"
