Census Timeline Tables of German Surname CUPP (and Variations)
in the 1790-1930 Pennsylvania Censuses
Below is my attempt at identifying all CUPP/KAPP/KOPP/etc. households in the 1790 through 1930 censuses of Pennsylvania 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.
