I'm sorry about the delay. We have been out of touch for a while.
In my searches for my Family Genealogy, I have discovered that there were very many people with the name Kampa from the region around Alt Schalkowitz and Poppialau, two towns very close to one another. However, I have not been able to come upon a singular Family. My ancestor Simon, was the son of Lorenz, born about 1789, married to Anna Thoma. Valentin Kampa does not appear to be in any of my Family records. However I have discovered that around 1875 a group of Kampa boys came over together, some settled in Minn. and some settled in Wis. Somewhere there must be a common bond, but as of yet I have not discovered it.
