About the Project
The Napper Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Napper name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Napper name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Napper's), by time period (18th Century Napper's), or by topic (Napper DNA, Napper Occupations, Napper Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Regard Garry Napper
I descend from Nipper. My 3rd Great Grandfather was baptised Nipper, but later changed his name to Napier.
The earliest Nipper, that I've managed to find is John, baptised 1637 in Wedmore, Somerset. His father, Edwardi appears to be Napper. This is my brick wall, as I know go into Napper, but whether they descend from Tintinhull, remains to be proven. Very strange that my 3rd Grandfather, adopted the Scottish spelling. I'm still trying to discover why? Maybe he knew something......
Thanks, Mary Lou
I also created a redirect, so Project:Napper (the link for the button from the Napper surname page) brings you to this page.
