Classification: Query
Surnames: Sipress, Johnson, Weisgerber, Metzger
The family name I'm following in the States is SIPRESS. In our family it arrived in 1880 from Frankurt am Oder, (which is now in Brandenberg, Germany) with KARL LUDWIG ZIPRSZ, his wife WILHELMINA PODROWSKI and their 5 kids.
He claimed to have been born in Prussia and renounced allegiance to the Emperor of Germany.
There are many names that came out similar to this when the people "americanized" them: CYPRYS, CiPress, CYPRESS, ZIPRESS, ZIPRIS, ZYPRESS, SYPRESS, TSIPRIS, to mention a few.
Do you know where your name came from? Or, do you know of other families who came here with the same, or similar, names?
Will be anxious to hear from you
