Hello! I've been subscribed to KEMP-L for some time now. Thought it about time I should introduce myself. I am researching the KEMPs of Wickham Skeith, Suffolk, England. This is my wife's line. It starts with her 3rd great-grandmother Letitia (nee KEMP) THURLOW (married 2ndly HOWARD, and 3rdly ROBINSON) (1793-1881). I have the line traced back to Thomas and Susan KEMP (aka CAMPE) at Wickham Skeith in 1673. Thomas was a "Shoemaker" and "Cordwainer". If you would like to see the details of my KEMP research you will find the details on my web site here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~weston/ I am keen to make contact with any descendants of this line who may have emigrated from England. If you are researching your KEMPs in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere and need help connecting the family to the UK please give me a shout. I may be able to help. I may be able to help with your KEMP research in Ontario, Canada also. Cheers, David Weston Kingston, Ontario, Canada - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THURLOW One Name Study (GOONS No. 3248) http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/weston/default.htm
