This family of Lampes were from Nova Scotia and were of German origin. The Lampes are listed in the Foreign-Born voter's Registration of California in 1872. Theodore Charles and Robert Lampe were my great grandfather's, Robert (Haverstock) King's cousins. Robert Lampe had no children and Charles Lampe settled in San Francisco, married and had children. Some of the family were in Louisiana. Somewhere there might be more information on the origin of this family. Various spellings of the name---Lamp, Lampe and Lampie.
