Heidelberg, Germany is where some Schupp's originated, the name being later phonetically Americanized to "Shoop".It's pretty safe to say German is the nationality.This was confirmed to me during a recent visit to Amsterdam where the local folks I talked with emphatically stated that Shoop was definately a German name, not Dutch.
Side note: one reference I saw about my ancestors stated that they (Schupp's) sailed for Pennsylvania in 1735 from the port of Rotterdam.
