We have studied white dwarfs in common proper motion pairs (CPMPs) to improve the semi-empirical initial–final mass relationship of white dwarfs. In this contribution, we report new results obtained from spectroscopic observations of both members of several CPMPs composed of an F, G or K type star and a DA white dwarf.
