Hi Gang: For whatever it's worth, Hape is an accurate phonetic spelling of the name Heeb as it would have been pronounced by speakers of German.
My problem is trying to figure out how many ways it could have been mistranscribed from censuses, because I've got a GG Grandfather William Heeb (b. abt 1820) who doesn't appear on any censuses.
