I have never heard the '-kemper' on the end of the name, so I do not believe there is a connection. I am going to try to go through birth records of other relatives as suggested. Thank you for the replies. I need all the help I can get-like finding a needle in a haystack! --- Linda Lambert <ktlkate@extremezone.com> wrote: > I know of a family named Buehnekemper in central > Illinois.....would this be > who you are looking for?
