Jerome Kemp

Looking for more info on Jerome Kemp, b.Germany, d.1944 in Danbury CT and Dorothy Partnoy, b.1902 Kishinev, Moldavia, d.1991 in NY. His son is Alan Kemp, b.Hackenstack NJ in 1930. Jerome had a brother, William Kemp, who m. Dorothy after his brother's death. This is the Eastern European Jewish tradition if a bachelor brother remains. William and Jerome's sister Pearl m. into a family from NY named Orange--I've heard that her husband was a concert pianist.

Have found traces of a family called Kempenich originally from Emmernich, Germany and now apparently from Anniston Alabama, via the Museum of the Diaspora in Tel Aviv. Has anyone come across Kemps of Jewish origin?
