Dear Sandra: I, for one, appreciate your offer. Mine is a branch that Dr. Knapp fumbled considerably when assembling his Nicholas Knapp Genealogy. I'd love to see someone take what I have gathered and meld it with other information resources that can be readily shared both within this list and elsewhere. Yours will not be the only assemblage, of course, but I see no harm in having alternatives, either. Regrettably, this list has a few with sharp words and curt manners. A couple of our most helpful members have essentially quit posting because they have tired of being snarled at. I trust that you will not follow that path, too. My line, for the record, is grafted to the NKG at page 17 (third generation), where C-20 has the sub-line "This is uncertain," followed by "ISRAEL KNAPP (doubtful) son of B-8, Moses and Abigail (Wescoat) Knapp." Then comes a series of substantially uncertain dates and names. It is not until page 97, Elijah Knapp (E-249), that I begin to encounter entries that I can validate or correct. I hope to have an opportunity before long to post what I have learned as I also seek more connection with others researching elements of the same line.

This may be a bit off of track, but I feel that it is important enough. This is for all of you who may be searching for the surname Knapp. I have come across this name twice in my research, and the connections are quite long. It struck me as odd, though, that there is so much information out there on this family, but no one database anywhere on the net. So, I have decided to collect and maintain a database for just this surname. I will be putting it on line after January 1, 1999. I would very much appreciate any input from other Knapp(Nicholas line for right now) researchers. Also, I would love any contributions of information that you would like to contribute. I hope to have as many links to Knapp info sites, GEDCOM information and other things also. Please feel free to e-mail me with suggestions, and/or contributions. Sandie [email protected]
