| Site Guide |
| Welcome to
Saperia.com. The purpose of this site is to allow
those with the surname Saperia to see how they
are related to other Saperias around the world
and to provide some basic family history. |
| Perhaps 25
Saperia families emigrated from Russia to Leeds,
UK, in the late 19th century. So far, we have
identified seven family trees amongst this group, and
know that there are at least another five waiting
to be revealed. In the process, we have contacted
many of the descendants, who are listed in the Index of Saperias. If you are a Saperia and
not listed, or a relative, you can search through
a wealth of genealogical data (birth, death & marriage
records, census records, naturalisation papers and war records) to trace your connection.

When we started
this project, in April 2001, we had two
objectives: to unite the various branches into
one single family tree, and to solve the pesky
problem of the origin of our surname. Whilst we
have learnt quite a bit along the way, these
objectives have yet to be achieved. If you can
help, we look forward to hearing from you!
