Hi my name is Thomas D Camp Jr. I have developed this web site to share with all those of the same genealogical interest. I have gathered information for some years and compiled a part of it into a program named "REUNION 8". The ancestry on the left side of this page is my direct line to Henry Campe born about 1475 in Essex, England.

The information gathered has come from many web sites, books, resources and relatives, some of whom was unknown to me prior to starting this project. My special thanks to Doris, my cousin (previously unknown) who has provided much data, photos and insight to our family ancestry. Also a special thanks to Mike Ashmore who provided me with a lot of old English wills, who also researched the Camp family while living in England years ago.

In June 07 I took a trip to England and spent a few wonderful days in The Essex area and spent considerable time at the Essex Record offices in Chelmsford and Harlow as well as in the London Guildhall. These are great Repositories and I was able to find lots of wills, Parish Registers as well as other documents related to our Camp family. I rented a car while in the Essex area and visited the Hunsdon, Nazeing and Roydon areas relative to our ancestors. This country was beautiful and worth the visit. While there I contacted a local historian David Pracy whom is co-author of two books written about the Nazeing area from the first century BC to present time. A special thanks to David who gave me a guided walking tour of the Nazeing country side and showed me the houses formerly owned by the Camps of Nazeing and the All Saints Parish Church as well as other historical places of interest. This country is rich in history as evidenced by his books. I have posted some of the photos from my trip in the photo gallery. I hope you enjoy them.

"Five miles from everywhere"
"History of Norfolk, Connecticut"
"Ancient Weathersfield Connecticut"
"History of Torrington, Connecticut"

The thumbnail photos on the individual or person sheets can be enlarged by clicking on the photo. All names in blue with a underline is a link to other data.

There is a link for the "Photo Gallery" located on the left side of this page. Photos are from my parents, grandparents, cousin's, websites, books and photos I took in England. I am always in search of photo's to add. I am also in search of a photo of William Gabriel Camp b.1847 d.1895 Texas. Please email me

The link on the left side titled "early england camps document" is taken from a book on the Curtis family genealogy, which I thought was quite interesting, since it mentions the Camp family going back to the 13th century.

SPECIAL NOTE: Every effort has been made to keep the information on these pages accurate, but not all has been verified so use at your own risk.

I hope you have found this site helpful in the search for your family roots. It is a very small amount of information which is available through the internet as well as many other websites both in the US and in England. There is much more information I plan to add to some of the individuals cards when I get the time. Please email me if you find errors in data or would like to add data or photos to your relatives.
