Catharina was born in Septfontaines Luxembourg I suspect that she was named for her grandmother Catharina WEYLER / WEILER. the index in the record book has Catharina last name spelled as GEPPER. On her birth record the clerk had corrected this mistake to DUPPRE. Catharina did not get married to Johann DIFFRANG until she was 33 years old (1841) on her wedding certificate her last name was written DUPRE' her brother Nicoas DUPREL (1805) was the bestman / acting father at her wedding. Her father Jean DUPREL had passed away in 1836, and her mother in 1840. The clerk wrote her brothers last name as DUPRE' but Nicolas signed his name N: DUPREL. Catharina was married in Hollenfels which is approx 5 miles from Greisch. Below is a list of the way her last name was spelled in the records books.

Gepper her birth record index 1808
Duppre her birth reocrd 1808
Duprel her baptismal record 1808
Dupre' her wedding certificate 1841
Dupre'l her son Theapile birth certificate 1842
Duprel her son Dominique birth certificate 1844
Dupre' her husband death certificate 1875
Duprel her death record 1886
Duprel her sons Dominique death record 1889

Catharina husband Johann DIFFRANG father, was Dominique, his mother was Christine SIMON they were both from Hollenfels Luxembourg. I looked at the records for Hollenfels they are listed under the town of Tuntange. They are only advilabe to the year 1880. According to those records Catharina was not listed in the death records or the index, so she more than likely passed away after 1880.
