I've found quite a few variations on the spelling of Krampitz.The 'ic' ending, in Polish,is pronounced the same as the 'itz' ending in German.So Krampic was how a Pole would have heard, then written, the name.
I'm told that the 'e' with a hook at the bottom, is also pronounced, in Polish, much like the 'a' in Krampitz, and I have found my 3xGreat grandparents family spelled as Krempitz.I've seen Krempic,which I'm sure were also Krampitz.
I won't go into other variations I've seen,some starting with 'C',other's even further afield.
If you're researching this name,please email me at my last name, Krampetz, at aol.com.
