I heard one story of the part Kapa "cap" as in the head dress due to the family being involved with the Russian Orthodox Church. Rumor has it not too ong ago the "church members" visited the US asking some of the older famliy members about missing church artifacts. Don't know if it's true or not. Thank you for all your help.
