Description
In Mid 1800s 5 Kespohl families came to the USA from Lippe Germany. Arnold to Indiana, Hermann to Quincy,Il., Frederick to Pikes Co Il., Louis to Minnesota and My GGGF to Quincy, Massachusetts. Since Kespohl is (1)not a common name and (2) origins focus on Lippe, there is a high good probability we have a common ancestor. If your soundex code is K214 or C214 you may be related. Lets find out.
The project administrator is me, John Caspole, 5th generation descendant of Conrad Kespohl born in 1787 at Lippe-Detmold.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
