Hi my name is Igor Kappel and I am trying to trace my family's lastname in the US. I have lived most of my live abroad and before seeing your name I thought that there were no Kappels in the US and that Kappel's had originated from Holland or Germany. I am not sure if we are related or not. Please let me know what you know of the Kappel last name history.

Thank you,

Igor Kappel

I believe I might have a line connected to yours. I have the lineage on a Freida Kappel from Iowa. They originally were from Ostrfreisland (Northern Germany).

Hi, My grandmother was born in Romania or Lithuania on March 1904, died 9/97. She was
Jewish. She had several brothers sisters who she outlived. She lived in St. Louis, Mo.
for most of her 93 years.

Sheri did you find any more connections on your Freida Kappel. Did her Kappel line in Europe have any boat people. They lived on boats many times and serviced the rivers through out the Rhine area. We know our Kappels were invovled with the shipping industry.

The Kappels and wives I am related too were all from Furstenthal, Bukowina, Austria. Ignaz Kappel b 1827 married Theresia Weber b 1827 had Anton, Barbara, Johann, Franziska ,Ferdinand and Anna= children

One of the origins is from the name, CABLE.

Revolution because they were Tsarists.
