No family relationship has been proven so far between the Polish Starkopf family and the ancestors of the Sturkop family, who also had the name Starkopf. No doubt that there were more than one starkopf (subborn headed) family in Europe.

Unless indicated differently, the descendents of this ancestor Starkopf have been determined on the basis of a discussion with Mr. Adam Starkopf, October 16, 1987, in his home in Chicago. It has been updated through his letter of June, 1988, with additional family information, collected by Mrs. Florence Nisenson-Starkoff. All information can be retrieved in the genealogy document, put together by Ko Sturkop, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, in September, 1988. The informants claim that there has not been any other Starkopf in Poland. In spite of that, internet mentions other persons named Starkopf in Poland: see source 2412.
This first mentioned Starkopf is unknown as far as his first name, personalia and family relations are concerned. Only his children have been identified, which does not mean that all of them are mentioned in this genealogy.
In Poland, the family name was officially spelled: Sztarkopf. This is pronounced as 'Sjtarkopf', as the Polish dictionaries teach us.
A preliminary analysis of the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland, with many Sztarkopf, as assembled in source 2412, leads to the following interpretation (which has not been worked out in the genealogy as presented in 1988 in the USA:
It is not impossible that N.N. Starkopf was Hersz or Herszek Sztarkopf (then, his parents were Nuchym and Minda). Hersz was married with Marya Rosenberg. Their approximate birth dates would be 1820 and 1822. Please be aware that this is a possibility, not yet proven. Hersz and Marya then were the parents of Morris Arnold, Basia, Stanislav (Shlomo Ruben) Starkopf. These children would have had siblings:
· Laja Sura Sztarkopf, probably born about 1843, married to Jankiel Celmajster.
· Jonas Sztarkopf, born and died in 1844.
· Estera Grina/Yrina Starkkopf/Starkopf, female, probably born 10-1-1853.
· Dwojra Starkkopf/Starkopf, female, probably born 18-2-1854.
Since the USA genealogy also speaks of one more sister (first name not remembered) of Morris, Basia and Stanislav, one of the a.-m. women can be that sister.
Also the name Basia Sztarkopf appears in the Polish records, however, not in context with the above-mentioned couple. She was married to Lewek Merzer and there are two births known from this couple: Sura Merzer, 1-11-1861 and Szmul Haskiel Merzer. The age of Basia fits well. In that case, she was not born about 1833, but about 1840. She then would fit well in the family of the parents Hersz and Marya. In that case, This Basia was not married to Celmajster, as the USA genealogy mentions. We have to be aware of the fact that oral history is not always correct and that this Basia can be a child of Hertz and Marya and the sister of Morris Arnold and Stanislav.

There is also a family Starkopf in Estonia. Remarkable fact is that, according to Adam Starkopf, one of ancestors lived for a while in the Baltic states. However, the Estonian Starkopf genealogy (<http://www.geni.com/people/Anton-Starkopf/6000000006431756321>) does not leave any room for a (direct) relationship between the Estonian and the Polish Starkopfs.
