Note: There are some versions of the Kepke genealogy showing Etty's father to be someone with the last name "DIEDERIKE" instead of Hermann Hinrich Gerhard KOPKE. Etty was born a year and a half before Hermann Hinrich Gerhard KOPKE and Maria GERDES were married, but I believe that Hermann was Etty's father. See the Kepke Genealogy Forum for a discussion of Etty's parentage.
