First line shows Christian Rampi ( ca 1650 - ca 1695) was born in Gangloff, Germany.

No wife mentioned.

His children were George ( ca 1670-? ) born in Reiffelbach, Germany, Paul (1673-?) born in Meisenheim, Germany, Elisabeth ( 1674-?) Gangloff, Germany, and Heirich (1676-?) born in Becherbach, Germany.

It appears I am descended from Paul. His son Andreas (ca 1704-?) married Elisabeth Speissert in 1727 in Landau, Germany. They moved to Nova Scotia in 1751.

Not any other spouses mentioned.

(Some of this is hard to read... must be a copy of a copy, etc. )

No lines connect Paul to the others, just to Andreas. But I'll include the names just in case someone needs them.

Maria Magdalena (1728-?), Anna Maria (1730-?), Anna Barbara (1736-?), Georg(?), and Elisabeth (?).

No further info on them.

Andreas' son Nicholas (1729-1802?) moved from Landau, Germany to Edgefield, South Carolina in 1764. He married Catherine. No last name for her, nor date/location.

Under Nicholas is listed, but only a line connects him with Peter.

John (1765?-1816) Abbeville, S.C., William (ca 1768- ca 1835) Abbeville, S.C., Peter (1764?- 1843) Sedgefield, S.C. Married, but no spouse's name.

html is not allowed; however, I found a 12 megabyte pdf of a book that goes into much more detail on the Rampi line.

Here is the page.

It shows a Swiss Rampi connection.
