I am searching for Hampes in Pennsylvania. They came from Germany and settled in the Holsopple, Hooversville, Myersville, Somerset areas of Pennsylvania. Charles Hampe married Elizabeth Merley (or Marley). I believe Charles' father was named Lewis (or Louis). Charles and Elizabeth had a son Edward Louis (or Lewis) Hampe (born 4/13/1880 in Rockwood, PA) and a daughter Rebecca (whose married name was Conn). I am not sure if there were any other children. From what I can gather, Charles Hampe came to America from Germany, returned to Germany, and then came back to America. I have no further information on him. I also heard that he had two marriages. Charles would be my Great Grandfather. I am having real difficulty going back further than Charles. I have found no information on him other than the few pieces of information in famly archives.
