Herman came from a large Family with many brothers. Herman returned to the US to his homestead in 1913 with 9 children 1 of them my Grandfather Kenneth Pape who had 13 children. I had meet Herman 3 times in my childhood he died when I was 4. Many of Hermans Brother followed him to the US settling in Texas Oregon Illinois and Southern Michigan.<br /><br />I'm Ken Pape oldest and first Grandson by his 3 oldest son. Herman remained most of his life in Bismark before moving into the what became known as the Pape Tree farm in Menominee Mi in the late 1930's Built by my Grandfather Ken. <br /><br />I'm only second generation American. <br /><br />I should add the origans of the name its self which mean Teacher, Pope,and father is in every European Nation as it was attached to those to believed to be bastard children of 7th century Popes. As the early church converted Medieval Kingdoms to the Church as was the custom in Houses to marry children from each house to bound them together The Bastard Sons were married into the house of Europe to seal the conversion.<br /><br />Furth most of Europeans pronounces the name Poppy Except in the UK where the name is Pronounced Pape with a silent e. Depending on where one immigrated from and there arrival at Elis Island as well as their understanding of the language many Changed either the spelling of their name example Italians and Spanish Spell the name Pope as it is Pronounced Poppy but spelled Pope in their native language. <br /><br />You mentioned Von being a main land Europe title more so then name like Sir or Lord in english. Common variations example Von Pappen od Van Pappen.<br /><br />It is fair to say that if you meet someone who prounces their name Poppy then they are from the same line and immigration time line as Herman and we are all related by blood.As Herman believed the proper english pronunciation of Pape is PA PE long A long E instead of papa as it is Pronounced in Frwnce & Germantic origin'sDale Papehttps://m.facebook.com/darth.prophetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-14476140928049308832010-01-24T18:42:33.940-06:002010-01-24T18:42:33.940-06:00Thanks for sharing the Pape Coat of Arms with us. ...Thanks for sharing the Pape Coat of Arms with us.
