Hello Carolyn,
I know a Kemper family from Garrel near Cloppenburg. Already in the year
1746 there was a Kemper living in Garrel. I think you should look for your
Kemper at the Oldenburg-List because I think your Kempers also can come from that
region. Some Kempers from Garrel went to the US in 19th century. Maybe there
is a relation to a woman in the US which Kemper ancestor come from Garrel. I
have contact to her because there is also a relation between the Kempers of
Garrel ans my Juechter family.
I hope you will find your Kempers!
Kind regards
Gunter Jüchter from Hannover, Germany
