There is a website that discusses the various branches of the Lamping family, both in Oldenburg and the United States. Unfortunately, I don't have it's URL handy, but you can find it by putting Genealogical Office of the Lamping Family in your browser.
I have Lamping ancestry, but my branch was from Pennsylvania, and probably the Alsace-Lorraine area before coming to America.
Happy hunting,
Paul Horvat
