#NotMyTapp I have included the Charles Tappe family because he came up regularly in my searches. Somebody has to be related to him.

I'll just leave this one here. I have both Charles and Clara, but the dates are wrong, although the place is right. They may be related, but I will have to get more information before I do anything more with this. If you have any idea who this might be, leave a comment in the form on the right.
1908 Prayer Meetings at Charles Tappe house, 1007 North Prairie, Bloomington IL
Again, this isn't my Charles Alfred Tapp because he wasn't born until 1920. However, it could be an Uncle, since the place is about right. I don't pay too much attention to the spelling, since it is a common error, although there are some who officially spell their name with an "e" at the end. Could be true here, I don't know. If this were my Charles Tapp, I would look up the address, see if that could give me a clue as to who he is.

I am reasnobly sure this is not my Charles Tapp, since mine was about 6 years old at this time. It may have been an Uncle. Perhaps I will do a name study in just Illinois, some time.
I actually think this is the store owned by Charles Tappe, who is still not my Tapp.
If this were my Charles Tapp family (I don't think it is, as of this time), then I would look up the address, corelate the address with other family members. We find out the maiden name of the wife, so we could find marriage records, birth and death records of the parents and the wife's mother. We could look up the births of the children, as well. Quick perusal reveals the following information starting on Line 86.

| Charles Tapp family, 1930 Nebraska Census |
If this were my Charles Tapp family (I don't think it is, as of this time), then I would look up the address, corelate the address with other family members. We find out the maiden name of the wife, so we could find marriage records, birth and death records of the parents and the wife's mother. We could look up the births of the children, as well. Quick perusal reveals the following information starting on Line 86.
- Charles W. Tapp owns his home on North 27th Street, Lincoln Nebraska. He is worth $5,000 and has a radio. His home is not a farm, he is 76 years old, married at age 20 years, born in Illinois, father born somewhere in the US, mother born in Virginia. His occupation is Night Watchman for the local stadium. I would find out what stadium was around at that time, find photographs of that era.
- Wife Orra M. Warriner (?) Tapp is the head of the house. She is young, 56 years old, married at age 18 years, born in Kansas, parents born in Illinois. This tells me Charles may have been married before, both by the age difference and that they were about the same age when they first married.
- Mildred Tapp Cowley is his daughter, but there is no sign of the husband. She is 20 years old, married first at age 18, born in Nebraska, she has no occupation. Find the marriage certificate, try to find where the husband is at this time. There were no wars at this time, but he may have been in the military, I don't know.
- Mildred's son William E. Cowley is just a month old, born in Nebraska. Find his birth certificate
- Mother in law Sarah E. Warriner (?) is living with them, and is 3 years older than her son in law. Interesting, how did this work out with the dynamics of the extended family? She is widowed, married first at age 22, she was born in Illinois, her father born in Michigan, her mother born in Ohio. her family moved around a lot, I see.

Thank you for your offer. Do you have names and dates on your documents? I am part of a couple of Tapp sites on Facebook.
