Question:

Does anyone know were the name KOPHAMER cames from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Kophamer appears to be a German name. There were Kophamers in the U.S. census found in Milwaukee, Wisconisin, Cook County, Illinois and Whiteside County, Illinois. There weren't any records found on Kophamer before the 1870 census. There was also a branch of Kophamer in California who came from a gentleman who was originally in Illinois.

While I was looking for records I found several obits from the Chicago are for Kophamer. One of them was for a man named Leo Schiller. He was married to a Bernice Kophamer.
