Are you a genealogist? Are you a Peppler or a Bepler?

    I am a Peppler and was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. The information on this page has the same information in a family book that was given to my Great Grandfather John Earl. I am sure share the same blood line.

    I am not a Peppler or Beppler by name but just discovered that I am descended from this family. Most of my family is from Naunheim, now part of Wetzler, not far from Kinzenbach where the Beppler's originated. Check out this link for the ancestor first appearing in the Beppler family tree linked to in this website. It shows his father and the full name of his spouse.

    I am a Peppler currently living in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My grandfather's -George Peppler- family lived in Listowel Ontario and they were related in some way to the Peppler furniture people from Hanover Ontario. I wonder if we are connected to this story of the Kitzenback and if so, how?

    Enjoyed seeing this historical information about the Bepplers (that's how the locals are spelling it here) and Kinzenbach -- I am a Canadian living in Kinzenbach. Well, it really belongs to the town of Heuchelheim now, but the locals still call it Kinzenbach.

    I found your web site very interesting. I am doing research on my family tree. I have ancestors with the name of Peppler, My great, great,grandmother's family were Pepplers They came to Monroe, Michigan in the 1830's..
    They were from Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany. Someday I hope to go to Germay and see the area they are from.

    This is a wonderful piece of research, beautifully presented. You've gone back a long way indeed.

    Some lenses you create for the hits, some for the community, and some for yourself - and those can be the most rewarding. Thanks for letting me know about it!

    Very impressive research on the origins of the Peppler family! I'm glad that someone in our family had the interest and ability to achieve these results!

    Your blog inspired me to plan a visit back to the town in Germany where dad's family is from. I found a cool castle in a nearby town we can stay in.

    your presumed dissinterested brother matt.

    PS I joined squido so I could give you 5 stars but I still can't figure it out.

    Fascinating story, I love all this sort of thing and though I've never done it seriously with my own family, on my son's father's side he can go back to about the 1100s, on my side only a couple of hundred years. 5*
