The History Of The Pope Family

I have information on the Pope family starting

with Jean Le Pape and spanning 10 plus generations .

This family ties with the

Cummings family through the marriage

of Mary Brown Pope, to Carl E Cummings,Jr.

This is in progress and any help would be appreciated.

Descendants of Jean Le Pape

Generation No. 1

Belgium and died Aft. 1606

Notes for JEAN LE PAPE:

Jean Le Pape,referred to as the "elder",

is the French name for the English name,

John Pope (or Johann Bapst/Papst, the German name)

In Annweiler records, Jean Le Pape is referred

to as Jean Le Pape de Stavelot. This translates

in English to John Pope of Stavelot. Stavelot cannot

be found as a town or village in France. A French

genealogist named Laurent Desche' advised Gail Pope Barnes

that the town or village probably is Saint Avold

or St.-Avold.Jean le Pope emmigrated from Stavelot Belgium

to Annweiler Germany about 1595-1597. According to records
