Frank - Oscar - Monroe - Clare - Genevieve - Caroline - Willard - Paul - Imogene - Mimi - Jack
The O.P.Kemp family was a big one! And one of my goals has been to track down the living descendants of O.P. and Elva's eleven children and find some way to connect us all together. Paul and I have heard from Lauragene Swenson and her son, Eric Swenson. Lauragene is Imogene's daughter. Eric is interested in family history and his office is close to my house, so we're going to get together and talk about all things genealogical. Also, Paul and I have been in contact with Dennis Schwartz who has put together, with the help of genealogically-zealous friends, a lot of research on the family line. Dennis is the son of Bob Schwartz who was the son of Genevieve Kemp.
We're also in touch with Dan Kemp who is the son of Jim and Grace Kemp. Jim was Oscar's son. Dan lives in Huntington Beach.
I also found (thank you, facebook!) the great-granddaughter of Caroline. Her name is Jennifer McPhail Roloff and she lives near Portland, OR. Her grandfather was Kemp McPhail, the older brother of Doug McPhail (from "Babes in Arms").
And I'm going to be talking with Pat Boone (daughter of Willard, if you remember) to get some of the names and addresses she has for Monroe's descendants.
I sent a link to the old home movies of the O.P.Kemp family to all of the above, plus Lorri Clarke and Carolyn Shepardson, and since I couldn't stop watching it over and over again myself, I thought that you all would enjoy seeing it again too. What a treasure!!!

Happy New Year and much love and joy to all Kemps everywhere.... -Anne
