Dear Carole, I see there is more activity on the Kapp photos. Maybe you don’t want to split up the set, but I would still be interested in a photo or two (or at least a digital scan of the front & back emailed as an attachment?) that includes Henry and Catherine (Rickenbrode) Kapp, and John and Mary Kapp. I could reimburse you something for your scanning trouble. Please keep in touch. Dave

Dear Carole,

I am SOOO happy you still have these photos. I live approximately 14 miles from where all of these Kapps grew up during the 1800′s. My relatives went to that Kapp Reunion!! I will gladly pay for all of the photos and postage. Please email me at feliz1218@yahoo.com. We can then work out the details.

Thanks a million for rescuing the photos!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian – I am sooooooo happy to hear from you. I’ve had these photos probably a year. They’re wonderful photos and need to go to a Kapp family member. There was about 50 of these photos at an antique store in Medford, Oregon. I bought 30 of them….ALL Kapp family….the ones identified on the backs or fronts. I paid $1.00 each and would like reimbursement for them. I ask for nothing else…just what I have into them. All these photos are turn of the century..1900-1920s. They’re all printed with postcard backs. Here’s the KAPP people I have: Etta Kapp (daughter of Aaron Kapp), Webster Kapp (son of Aaron Kapp), Curtis (son of Aaron Kapp), Aaron Kapp, Aaron with Harold Kapp (son of Curtis Kapp), the Hendersons (Katherine Kapps parents), Harold Kapp as a boy (son of Curtis), several of Elrick Kapp, group photo of Kapps….Mabel, Eva, Harold, Ila, Willie W. in 1910, Edith Kapp & family at dinner table. There are individual photos and family group photos. One of the best is a KAPP family reunion in 1915 of over 50 people with a big sign they hold that says KAPP REUNION. I think it’s at Alameda Park in Butler, PA. I have several other town scenes of Parkers Landing, Fryburg, Allegheny, Parker. I have 2 photos of the family homestead of in Fryburgh built in 1866 by John Kapp. Please help me disperse these photos to the appropriate people. Which ones would you be interested in? Can you direct me to other Kapp family members that might be interested in these. They’re truly a treasure…..I RESCUED these photos because that’s what I do for a hobby…. rescue old identified family photos and reunite them thru ancestry.com. I just couldn’t let these treasures sit in a box in an antique store. Let me repeat. I AM NOT A KAPP FAMILY MEMBER.

Dear Carole,

I saw your posting for the Kapp family photographs. I know these names well. John Kapp married Mary Rickenbrode. They were the parents of many of those listed in your query. I wrote a Rickenbrode family book and looked and looked for photos of some of the people you listed. Do you still have the photos?

Thanks,

Brian

Re: KAPP – South Africa

Hi,
my maternal grandmother was a Kapp, she was Margaret Catherine Kapp, born on the 23rd October, 1892. All I know is that she had a sister Gertrude, and a brother Michael (?), or Hugh… I’m trying to put together a family history for my great nieces. If you have any information on her Mother and Father ( I believe that her father was killed while crossing a mountain path on an ox wagon, and her mother remarried) I would apreciate anything you could tell me. By the way my grandmother married an Englishman, William James Melly . Many thanks for any info.
