Timeline Tables of German Surname CUPP (and Variations)
in the 1820-1930 Ohio Censuses
Below is my attempt at identifying all CUPP/COPP/KAPP/etc. households and arranging them in tables as "timelines."  As best I can, I've tried to follow individual families from year to year and to indicate parentage, where known.  I've also tried to keep children in rows immediately below their parents, geography permitting.  Family names link to family group sheets where the full census records and other information may be found.
