Ancestry[edit]
Three sources which refer to his origins differ considerably. One source (Manz 2001, p. 64) in his comprehensive study of Germans in Glasgow, mentions Steinkopff among a group of German Jews, although Manz (NB in German) doesn't appear to give any immediate source for Steinkopff's inclusion. Steinkopff's obituary in the Chemist & Druggist, which also has a photo of him,[1] states that he was born in Frankfort but doesn't mention his parentage. On the other hand, (Dasent 1920, pp. 255) has this: "He was not, as has been supposed, a Jew, for his father was a Lutheran pastor in Mecklenburgh." However, this description appears to coincide with that of his namesake, the Rev. Charles Steinkopff, discussed below.[2]
