Mary and Susan, There is a Kemp surname list on this same Rootsweb. I would post to that list. At least you have a audience full of interested parties. There is also a list for Kemp DNA. Don't know if that would be pertinent, but at least those people are really serious.

Marge, thanks for the comeback. I recently sent an e-mail to Susan [that came back due some type of earthlink security] suggesting she might consider checking out the return addresses on the mail as well as the postmarks [using the USGENWEB forums in those areas]. I just know the families/ancestors/descendants of that family would love the correspondence/pics. My husband's link with the Kemp surname is Canada via Scotland. While there was a William Kemp way back I think the one in question may be from another set of Kemps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron and Marge Zoblisein" <zoblisrm@worldnet.att.net> To: "Susan Brawley" <sroberts4@earthlink.net>; <flduval@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2007 8:20 AM Subject: Re: [FLDUVAL] St. Joseph's Cemetery - Re: Julie Thames Howell > Mary and Susan, > There is a Kemp surname list on this same Rootsweb.
