Hallo,
ich bin die Enkeltochter von Hugo Steup geb. 1900 in Marienberg jetzt Bad Marienberg.
Ich würde die Eintragungen zu den Nachkommen gerne ergänzen.
Hui Wäller !

Hello,
I have just started researching my son in law’s family. His great grandfather was Arthur Steup born 1868 who came to New York in December 1872 with his parents Emil Steup and Ottilie Hilgers Steup. Other children were Emil, Laura Ottilie Eugenia and Amanda. A daughter Ottilie was born in US in 1873 and a son, Walter E a few years later. In all the family had 8 children according to the Census records.
The family moved in the late 1880s to Jersey City, New Jersey where Arthur and Walter started a business as wagon painters.
Sister Eugene was born in Netherlands and Arthur, I believe, was born in Belgium. The parents were born in Germany according to records I have found.
Would be happy to share information with others researching this family. Many thanks.

Hallo,
über die Vorfahren meiner Frau (geb. Denker) aus dem Raum Hardt/Langenbach/Marienberg bestehen auch Beziehungen zu den Steups.
Im Rahmen meiner Auswandererforschung habe ich festgestellt, dass 1709 unter den Sayn-Hachenburgischen Leuten auch eine Catharina Steiberin aus der Grafschaft Hachenburg nach Amerika ausgewandert ist. Woher genau sie stammte, konnte ich bisher nicht ermitteln.Sie heiratete am 9. Juli 1710 in Westcamp am mittleren Hudson den Johann Philipp Zerb, Auswanderer aus Kettenbach/Stift Münster.
Weiterhin gute Arbeit mit der Steup-Forschung.

Dear Steup family members,

I’m looking for cousins. An ancestor of mine, Johann Matthias Kopper, came from the Marienberg region of the Westerwald. His parents were Johann Martin Kopper (1778–1849) and Carolina Rickes/Rückes Kopper (1776–1847), of Hardt and Höhn respectively. He was born in 1808 in Hardt, left for the US in 1848, and died in New York City in 1860. His sister, Anna Maria Kopper (4 Nov, 1803–23 February, 1851), was born in Marienberg and married (5 August, 1827), Johann Henrich (or Heinrich) Steup (25 October 1800–18 December 1858 ), who was born in Grossseifen and died in Hardt. One of their children, Helene Ottilie Steup (born 28 April, 1828 in Marienberg), lived with her family---my ancestors—in New York in the 1850s. Of the many other children of Johann Henrich and Anna Maria Steup, Matthias Heinrich Karl Steup (1830-1903) lived in Marienberg, and had children Auguste Christine (b. 1855), Heinrich Theodor (b. 1857), Jakob Wilhelm (b. 1860), Helen Karoline (b. 1862) and August (1868-1904) Steup, who all lived in Hardt.

Are any of these people among your ancestors? I can’t speak German, so wrote this in English.

Thanks for any help. Best, John Kopper
