I am looking for information on the Happel family. My grandfather was David C. Happel. He was born October 4, 1898. He married Marie Pearson from the Decatur, IN area in the twenties. They had three children. Lillian L., Genevieve, Alvin David. Marie died in 1933. Mother was nine years old. (Lillian) Genevieve died in 1977. Uncle lives near Angola, but no one seems to know when the Happels came from Germany or where in Germany they originated. David married Lulu Van Horn during the War, 1940 0r 41. Lulu died May 22, 1959. David died in 1979 and mother Lillian died Feb. 1980. I have been told the name Happel was originally spelled Hoepple when the family came from Germany. There appears to be many Happels living in Minnesota according to my phone searce. I would like to trace our family history back to the arrival in this country and maybe search out family members yet living in Germany. Please anyone if you have information on this family. Help me.
