I have seen many requests to this list about KEMPS in USA and even England, but few, if any, for Scotland. The Kemp line I am researching goes back to a James KEMP who married a Barbara LAWSON of Kincraigie, Tough, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. So far I have confirmed that this couple had 5 children between 1823 and 1833. The eldest, William KEMP was born 01 Sep 1823 at Ardgouse, Tough, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and died 11 Apr 1911 at Whinhill, Fordoun, Kincardineshire, Scotland. He married a Mary TOUGH who was born at Little Eggie, Belhelvie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. William's younger siblings were all born at Hazlehead, Newhills, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. My wife, (nee KEMP) was born and raised in Aberdeenshire and is descended from William who is her great grandfather. Apart from names and birth details, I have little information for either her great grandfather's or grandfather's siblings. Is anyone else researching this line OR other KEMPs from Aberdeenshire, Scotland? David
