  1. I'd say Hapem Mimke. The third letter in the surname looks identical to the "p" in Jasper.

  3. Hapern Mimke--but the 13-year-old looks like Hapern Minke. I bet he is a junior, wonder which spelling is correct.

  7. Mimke Hapem is what it really looks like to me. The last name is actually "Habben" and my guess is that "Hapem" is reasonably close to what the name sounded like to the census taker.
