My name is Julia Marie Baumhoefer. My grandmother, Martha Traphagen, was born in New York. She is still alive today. My maiden name is Schueler. My husband is German, originally from Emden, Germany. If anyone needs old German translating, we can be of help in this area.

Comments:
My husband is descended from Rebecca Traphagen Ostrander (1662-?).

Comments:
I have just been directed to this web site. I am a descendant of Willem Jansen Traphagen and had much of this data that my mother researched years ago. I will eagerly compare the data with what she had.

Interested in hearing from any Traphagens with a north New Jersey conneciton. I am the son of William Henry Traphagen of Cedar Grove, NJ. I believe his father's name was also William. I had an uncle named Robert Traphagen. Unfortunately, divorce and death has separated me from my Traphagen forbears.

Comments:
I am married to Max Traphagan and was told of this site by my son Joe Max Traphagan in Littleton Co. Enjoyed reading all the history and will tell the other children so they can go on line. Thank you.

I was glad to hear from you Chris and also I am researching my heritage as well. As you've said my part of the family is related to Willam Jansen Traphagen and so on after that. For everyone out there, my father's name is Edward Traphagen and my grandfath r's name is Joseph M. Traphagen Sr and my uncle is Joseph M. Traphagen Jr. Meeker and Burden name is connected to Traphagen. My father, uncle, and grandfather all originated from Lodi, NY and Ovid, NY. Also, we are the only Traphagens in our area so I gue s reading all of this and finding out there is actually more than three or four of us is quite interesting. If anyone knows this line up of family members please contact me at trappy112@gurlmail.com Keep in touch!

I'm very glad that there is a website dedictated to our surname! After all the cross-eyed looks I get when I have to pronouce my name over and over, it is wonderful to know that I am not alone and that Traphagens have been around for a long time! I was mo t surprised to find picturs of my parents on your picture page (Mark and Karyn)!

Comments:
Great Job, Chris!

Comments:
Thank you for all of your efforts on this web site. I found it quite interesting reading about the history of the family.

Comments:
Hey Chris: This site just keeps getting better and better! Thank you so much. I visited your home page, too. I loved your photo. :)

Comments:
This will be interesting. I'll e-mail you. Will

To all you Traphagen's out there, Go to: www.beekmanarms.com to browse an incredible role Wilhelm Traphagen, Jr., has had on American History. That dude is kool, ah! Trapper Tom.

Dear Chris, You have been very busy since we last corresponded. You have created a useful and beautiful homepage. Congratulations. My computer suffered a major problem and I lost your e-mail address so we were glad to hear from you. It will take me a few days to read through all of your data but I will enjoy every minute of it. Thanks! Wynette & Grover Traphagen

I can't believe there is a page about the Traphagan Family; We are the only Traphagan family around our area. In our family me and my brother, Shaun, are the only ones to carry on the Traphagan name. My dad has two sisters and one brother Dan, but he had nly girls so the name can not be carried on that way. Well I am glad there is a page like this.

Comments:
Chris, I really appreciate all the work that you have done with your research. You have contacted me in the past and I was able to give you some information on my family. I have not spent much time searching the home page, but I plan to soon. My son J rry, was here this weekend and showed me the home page when he logged into his e-mail. He said that he had been in contact with your some time ago. Again thank you. Bob Traphagen

Comments:
Hi Chris: What an undertaking! Your hard work has certainly become a great success for the Traphagen name. There may be some errors regarding Henrich Traphagen's children birth and death dates. Please contact me soon to discuss some of these dates. Great job! Tom Traphagen.

Hi Chris: Just yesterday I was talking to my sister, Paula, and we were wondering what happened to you and your web site. Then we got your announcement e-mail. Wow! Great job! (Hey Captain Mitch! Ahoy to Michelle, Alfie and Hannah!)

Hi Chris, I had a little trouble reading the page, because it's too wide for my screen, but other than that I think its great. As you know, I'd be iterested in hearing from anyone who knew or knows of my father, Kenneth William Traphagen, son of Margaret Fraebel, brother of Everett Traphagen (all from New Jersey)

Go Chris! You are the greatest. Thanks for all the time you have spent on our heritage. Indcidentally, I'm a GeoCities Community Leader (volunteer), so if you need any help in dealing with issues related to you home page, please feel free to ask. One tip: a Geoguide on our pages will stop the annoying popups, and you CAN put it at the bottom of each page (don't tell anyone I said that!) For all of you Trappers out there, feel free to write. Love hearing from you (Hi, Mitch and Pam). My AOL Instant Message screen name is mrtclass and my ICQ# is 3841101.

I haven't had a chance to search it thoroughly but it looks nice. I just got a new computer and am learning to use it with Windows 98. My biggest problem seems to be the size of the page.
