Thank you so much me and my family are still trying to find out about our ancestors. So far on the surname I found out his surname could have
been changed because long time ago if your last name was too long or difficult to pronounce once you came to America it would have been shortin or changed to the the person you worked for back then. Thank for the meaning on Theopolis name can't wait to tell my family.
