CIAO A TUTTI HI EVERY TAMPIER MY LITTLE

Ciao a tutti - hi every Tampier,

my little tribute.....

I have been member of the german Huguenots league in the 70ties of the last century,

for many years as my father Franz Xaver Theodor Tampier was sure, through some

reported infos, that we were Hueguenots.

I stopped the subscription to the league many years ago .

I gave almost all, more or less historical papers, referred to my family, to Johannes Tampier

in Braunschweig and there should be some of them, if I'm not wrong, going back to 16xx

there is a Dedecek-Lienhard component which comes from my grandma Maria Tampier born Lienhard

and may be connected to the Such......Tampiers.

In my youth grandma spoke often about the mythical uncle John who left to USA

Anyway the male "Czech connection" of my family is clear and, turns around Liberec ( former Reichenberg)

in Bohemia, while the female, is coming from a very complicate mixture of Germans coming from Schneidemuehl-Flatow

Schlesien/Slesia actually Poland, Volga(Russia) germans, and Pomeranians ranging from the

mid-eastern Baltic sea area Memel river, till actual german Mecklenburg-Vorpommern eastwards from

the Elbe river.......impossible puzzle!

This what I can say.

Ciao to all, a presto- read you soon<:-))))

PS cameo : Once , in the 50ties and/or before there was in France a small cognac destillery, which produced

this excellent elisir under the brandname of Tampier: somebody has some more info or, better, some

full bottle of it, to be shared in some future occasion.
