Greetings! I am a member of your family and we've been looking forever for relatives. But, with the different names and spelling, we haven't had very much luck. I have in my possession coat of arms, some family jewelry with the coat of arms, papers tracing lineage to very early nobility, registered in Prague. My understanding is that one son (we always thought there was just one) fled Poland in the 1830s and settled in Paris. He was a rather famous physician. His son, Eugene, emigrated to Chicago Illinois, leaving his mother, father and siblings in Paris. He had one son. That was my great-grand father. My granfather was Theodore de Lipkau. My father's name was Francis Eugene de Lipkau. My brother's name is Ross Eugene de Lipkau. There are no other families of this name in the United States. Dr. de Lipkau of Paris was a Count.

We have to be related! This is very exciting! I am happy to share any of the historic papers I have in my possession.
