Kip/Kipp Family Genealogy

Hello All,
Here's a bit to "stir the pot" a bit.
I found this "surfing" the web today.
------------------------------------------------
Surname: Quipp

This unusual surname is of medieval Scottish origin, and is a dialectal variant of Kipp or Kype, itself a locational name from a minor place called Kype in the parish of Avondale, Lanarkshire, believed to be so named from the Gaelic "kip, ceap", tree-stock, stump. Locational surnames, such as this, were originally given to local landowners, and the lord of the manor, and especially as a means of identification to those who left their birthplace to settle elsewhere. Regional and dialectal differences subsequently produced several variations on the original spelling of the name, which in the modern idiom is found as: Kip, Kipp, Quip, Quipp and Quap. The interchange of the initial "K" and "Q" is further evidenced in such Gaelic Irish surnames as Kielty, also written as "Quilty", and Kinnane, occasionally written as "Quinane". One Janet Kype was noted in Records of Goislingtoun in the parish of Stanehous, Lanarkshire, in 1622, and on January 4th 1768, William Quip and Sarah Ratford were married at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, London. On May 23rd 1861, the birth of Martha, daughter of Charles Quipp and Ann Simpson, was recorded in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Kype, which was dated 1301, in the "Register of the Abbey of Kelso", Roxburghshire, during the reign of During the Interregnum in Scotland, 1296 - 1306. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

How's that for a new variant on the Kip/Kipp family name ?

Ah, your husband is from the German line. Doesn't connect with the NYC/New Amsterdam line that myself, Edward and Eugene descend from, but its always interesting to see these German KIPP lines. I wonder what the mix is (percentage wise) of NYC Kipps and German Kipp's here in the U.S. Would be interesting to know.

Sorry. I haven't been here much. Too many Social Networks! LOL! You may have guessed that I married into the Kipp line. My husband, Dave, is from Southeast Kansas. I've traced his family back to John Martin Kipp, b.1804 in Germany, died in Piqua, Kansas and his son, John P. Kipp, Sr, b.1828 in Germany, d.1917 in Woodson County, Kansas.

I'm afraid that's not very far. Still much to be learned. I am a bit of a "green horn", having only started genealogy research roughly three years ago working in the evenings. And, selfishly, I've spent more time on my family. :)

Ed, most of us who've been doing genealogy for some time have the latest version of your PDF file. However, since it is a "view only" file we cannot add any of our data to it. I realize there are "copy right issues that prevent any modifications to your pdf file. The cost of owning Adobe's software is prohibitive but would allow one to actually increase the size of the file by adding data not in it. (documented and sourced of course).

It would be nice to have the capability to add a family tree here. However, as Scott mentioned I do have a large PDF file on my web site. This info is also available on World Connect.

Scott and Eugene thanks for commenting. I have been away for a few days in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We have been busy.
Carroll thanks for attaching your PDF file.

Scott, Your correct, no link to a GEDCOM of any kind. Maybe the originators (Ning) of this website don't know a whole lot about the way we do genealogy on the internet. My idea was to create a Family Tree that all members can contribute to on this site. You know, filling in the missing links from all the various branches of the tree. All surnames would be elibible if they can connect back to the main Kipp or Kip or De Kype or Kype line. Call it reverse genealogy.

A good idea...looking around though, I don't see an 'import GEDCOM' option. I might be missing it though. I know Ed probably has the most complete GEDCOM since he's been importing the info from all the various KIPP resources over the years. Maybe if there isn't a GEDCOM import, we could at least have link to Ed's PDF that includes all that info. If you descend from the NY/New Amsterdam KIPP's, you'll almost surely find your a connection to your line in Ed's PDF/GEDCOM somewhere.

Ed, Is there a way that a working family tree could be added to this group?
If so, then, enable all members to add their documentation (pedigrees) and there by "grow" a more complete family tree. The more contributers the more the tree grows. Of course all entrys must contain sources.
An Idea.
