This list of
surnames is intended as an aid for persons seeking their German roots. The Dorfsippenbuch Kappel am Rhein gave me 150 years of my Armbruster family history. Possibly
it may do as much for you.
The Dorfsippenbuch, written by Albert Koebele, contains an alphabetical listing by family name
of village marriages since about 1700. For each marriage is listed the name of the bride and groom, their parents and
the children of the marriage. You may use this site as a kind of index, then go to the Dorfsippenbuch for details. The
Dorfsippenbuch is available online courtesy of a scan by Christopher Hertel. A link
to the online copy is provided above.
The book is also available on microfilm from the Genealogical
Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Genealogical libraries are available
throughout the United States. They are listed in the Yellow Pages under Churches. The call
number for the book is: 943.46, R4bo, vol.4
Non-German speakers might also enjoy reading about the village from a translation of background
information contained in the Dorfsippenbuch, a link to which is provided under the Menu, above.
The following listing shows names in the Dorfsippenbuch and the number range of marriages associated
with that surname. In using it, remember that variant spellings are common and that only one is
shown. Best wishes on your search.
