My great, great grandparents are Christina Jepsen and her first husband Herman Coops.Their oldest daugher, Anna (Annie), married Thomas R. Shouse in Sonoma, CA, in 1884.Their youngest daughter, Grace Beulah Shouse, was my grandmother.I have a copy of a letter from one of the Coops' boys, telling the family history as he knew it in the 1940's, telling how his grandmother Christina and her sisters and brother and a couple of others, came over from Denmark.I'm not sure how much of it is true.My grandmother's story was a little different,I'll try to e-mail you.
