True.......in which case the most obvious change would be to Cooper

But why change it after the end of WW1?

Or they might have changed their name because it sounded German.

The name sounds Dutch to me..............which also opens up the possibility of a South African link

Did a quick search on FMP to see if they went overseas but not found anything.

Wonder if he was a soldier then went back to his country.

Probably changed their surname
