Hi Dixie, My grandpa, Henry Kemp, was born in 1907 in St. Bernard. Their last name at that time was spelled KEMPF. His grandfather, Frances KEMPF (later Frank Kemp) was a German from Alsace-Lorraine region in Germany. At some point they dropped the letter F, but other uncles kept the original spelling. Grandpa's oldest sister was born in 1895 and his youngest brother was born in 1910. Have you seen (or have) a book about the history of St. Bernard? I have one - it is pretty interesting. Grandpa's niece, Marie Kemp, submitted a short article about her grandfather and also submitted a picture of the old homestead. Thanks for checking with your friends. I love a challenge also. I like finding the puzzle pieces and putting them together!! Sheree
