Steve Hughes, of Pennsylvania, has joined our little group of Vosper Cousins. Steve is descended from John Vosper, who arrived in America in about 1865 or 1874. John was the brother of my immigrant ancestor, Charles, who came to America in 1882. John followed his father's footsteps, and was a Shoemaker, and settled in New Brunswick NJ. Their sister Eliza, joined them later.
Another new cousin, Ray Vosper, of Arizona, is also included on the chart – he is descended from my immigrant ancestor, Charles, through his son, Ralph. Ralph was a "choffer" on a couple of census records, so I guess that's when the shoemaking tradition ended! Ray was wondering about "the Vosper humor". It's sort of a blend of foolishness,dry wit. and dumb jokes. Anyone have any comments on that?
You can find the newest cousin chart, attached.
Regards to all!

Re: The newest Vosper I know of!
This little Vosper baby is too cute to not send out an announcement!
He was born on New Year's Eve, and is doing well.
Congratulations to Cousin Gene on his new VOSPER grandson.

Re: A new Vosper cousin has appeared in Ancestry DNA results!
I noticed a new Vosper cousin in my DNA results the other day and was quick to get in touch with her to nail down our relationship. This is how Bernadette appears in my DNA results:
Her closest "Vosper Cousin" is Robert Norris Vosper:
She matches my brother, T.B., at 201 cM,
I have updated the cousin chart, attached to put Bernadette on it (she's in the 4th column from left edge), and have also added Glenda back in, as I had somehow inadvertently used an old version of the chart in previous updates.
Hope you are all doing well and are ready for the holidays!
