Get the Kapteyn mug.Afantastic last name from deep withinDutch roots. It was probably changed when the line of Kaptein's first immigrated to America, changing the name to Kaptein, meaning captain.Someone in the family must have been a captain of a ship or some sort of sea vessel
The Kaptein (s) are a fucking fantastic Bloodline
