There are many Koepp's in LaVernia, Texas where my grandfather (Fritz Heinrich Ernst Koepp)was born. I believe they came from Germany a long time ago. I have information on his parents and siblings but can't find it now because I'm in the process of moving. I will post it once I find it. We don't know the rest of the family personally.
Fritz had four daughters and a son (Velma, Ellen, Nancy, Charles and Rose Ann). A hereditary disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth runs in our family. We don't know if it came from the Koepp side or not.
I would be very interested if anyone knows of other cases of CMT in the Koepp family. Please contact me at
