SAPP Family History

This can best be described as an Anglo-Saxon surname of confused origins. It is believed to be recorded as Sap, Sapp, the diminutives Sapell, Sappell, Seppell, Sippell, Zipfell, patronymics Sappas, Sappes, Sapson, (English), Sapp, Sapper, Zapp, Zapper, Zipp, Zippe, diminutives Zappel, Zipple(German), and others. According to one of the dictionaries of Germanic surnames, it is said to originate from the pre 5th century word "sache" meaning "legal action," which may suggest that name holders were early lawyers, although we have no proof of this.

Vicki (Victoria Sapp Scri

For some reason I think Latna was from or lived in Arkansas.

Vicki (Victoria Sapp Scri

I was born to Norma and Latna Sapp in 1952. They separated and I never saw my birth father Latna again. Norma remarried and the man she married adopts me. I believe Latna has passed away but would love to know of any relatives on the Sapp side of the family. Who my grandparents were, if i had aunts and uncles, cousins? even half siblings?
