Thanks for asking. My husband's Kemp family and ancestors are from Canada and Scotland. My husband missed by 14 days himself from being born in Canada. The Kemp letters you have more than likely are not related to my husband. Thanks again. I sure wished they did belong to his side of the family. Would have loved to have them.
