    Information on Keenan Kampa’s maternal grandmothers sides of the family. Louise King’s parents were Homer C. King (1892) (the son of Alvin Leincester King and Nance Louise Steele) and Felicitse Elizabeth Kaune (1895) (the daughter of Henry Spencer Kaune and Elizabeth Bandeleir). Alvin and Nance have a long lineage in the United States that was mainly of English ancestry.
