John Freiderick Japp (1836-1916)

Japp Family Genealogy

 Fritz William Japp (1907-1984)

A past search on the website of Ellis Island shows that from the time they started keeping records in 1892, a total of 96 people with the last name of Japp arrived in America through Ellis Island. My ancestor arrived before that, so I'm sure that several others also arrived before 1892. I'll be happy to start a new line of ancestors, just send in your Japp genealogy information.



More branches of Japp families can be added to this site. Simply email in your Japp genealogy information starting with the oldest known Japp ancestor and their dates of birth, death, marriage, and location. I have seen Japp families listed on the internet in the USA, Britian, Germany, Canada, Scotland, and Australia.

These are people who I have found referenced to on the internet, but I have not found a connection from them to my ancestors yet. If you recognize a name here, please send what you know in the hopes that a family connection will be found or that more knowledge is collected about another branch of the family name Japp.
