The surname TRUPIN is a Jewish surname. Documented variant names are
TRUPPIN and TROUPIN. The name itself stems from the name of the town
Trupy (now Traupis) in Lithuania. There are many branches of the
TRUPIN family in the U.S. One branch changed its name to DINBERG. The
TRUPIN family has been documented from 1800, beginning in Dunaberg
(later Dvinsk, now Daugavpils), Latvia. We have extensive data on this
family. Please send an e-mail if you think you may be related.....My
own large TRUPIN family (my branch renamed itself DINBERG circa
1889) emigrated from Dvinsk to the US, South Africa, and Israel between
1886 and about 1925. Very few were left behind to be caught during the
Shoah....
Israel TRUPIN travelled 11 December 1905 from Liverpool to Auckland,
New Zealand, on the SS Ayrshire, a ship of the Houlder Bros. and Co.
line.
Israel would have been born between 1884 and 1886 in "Russia"
(probably Dunaberg/Dvinsk). He seems to have immigrated first from
"Russia" to Liverpool several years before his travel to New Zealand,
since I find what appears to be the same person in the Hamburg lists.
The New Zealand passenger list states that he was single and a
"farmer". I question the farmer bit, since the family was composed
primarily of merchants; but one never knows.
I am reasonably confident that this person would be a family member,
since the surname TRUPIN is rare.....
Thanks very much.
