Surnames: Caplan,Kaplan,Copland
i wanted to start a family tree, my grandfather was Samual Caplan with wife Clara. now the information i found looks to be the right,DOB-09/22/1883, not sure of birth place could be Austria,Ireland the search info said he came from England to NY USA 1900-1920.they had two boys, Bert Caplan nick-name Buddy DOB-9/14/1923 and DOD-01/01/1997 wife Mary and his brother Martian Caplan died of massive heart attack 5 years earlier.both born in Detroit Michagan.Now this is where it starts to fall apart, my dad said he did not have a middle name and the data shows Martain Kaplan without, not spelled Caplan and Bert C Kaplan, not Caplan. Martian had 4 children David is the only one i remember, oh there was some story about changing name to Copeland for reasons of safty,my name is Denise Caplan sister Claire and Brother Mark.we were all born in Detroit Michagan I have some pictures of my dad. any help would be wonderful. meantime i will keep looking
