[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Need help deciphering last name from death cert -- ...

[Gloria Hoppe]

Maureen and Carla,

IF the first name on your list (below) were to have the second letter as
an "O" instead of an "E" it would make the name "Hoppe" which is my
husband's family name. We don't know of any of his family coming from the
Lodz area but then we don't know for sure that they didn't either. His
parents immigrated from Neudorf Volhynia in 1926. His uncle(s) went on to
settle in various parts of Canada (although mostly Alberta I THINK). We
do have reason to think that some great grandparents were from Poland,
but then that surname was Sawatzki.  Since the Hoppe's and the Sawatzki's
obviously hooked up SOMEwhere, it could have been in Poland or in most
anywhere else in the region. 

Anyway, I realize that the odds are pretty low of your great-great
grandmother's name being Hoppe (probably not likely at all).  But, just
in case there is a slim possibility that it is indeed the name on the
certificate, I thought I'd throw it into the mix.

Whatever it turns out to be, good hunting!

Gloria Hoppe

Carla, you are welcome to send an e-mail to me of that death certificate
if you like, and I will take a look - and see how it compares to what
others see.

In one German Surnames book, there are some possibilities:

Heppe
Heppel
Hepp(l)er
Hepperle
Heppele
Hepperlin
van Heppen
Hep(p)ner
Heptner
Höppner
Höptner
Hepting
