Message Board Post:
Hi, I wonder if your Kempfs came from Kransberg in Hessen Nassau? My gr.gr.grandmother,
Mariana, was born there c. 1810. She was the daughter of Friederich Conrad Kempf, a
Weaver, b.1782 in Kransberg who married Maria Demuth in St John the Baptist Catholic
Church in 1801.
Mariana married Johann Mattheis, also of Kransberg, and they emigrated to England but I
don't know when. Their grand-daughter - my grandmother - was born in London in 1870
and educated in a German Convent School.
You are the only other Hessen Kempfs I have been able to trace.
Any info gratefully received.
Pam
