Birth & christening source: La Rie Hull writes, "Dick Cornelius Kuper 10.1864" on her listing entitled, "KUPER'S AT HOLTHUSERHEIDE, OSTFRIESLAND, GERMANY" - xii Dec MCMXCIV - Fergus Fls., MN.

I believe this obiit for the unnamed daug. of Dirk Kuper is Bertha Kuper b. 4 Aug 1907 d. 8 Aug 1910. This would add credence to my earlier hypothesis that Dick's name is Dirk. Based on this latest data, I am changing the name from Dick to Dirk 'Dick'- D.A. Navorska - ii Feb MMII - Irving TX
