Hi JoAnn, I have this information, which I copied on the KNOOP surname. Thought it may be of interest to you. Maureen KNAPP De Bolle St. Augustine, Fl. 9) Subject: Familienaam KNOPP Date: 6 Apr 97 20:53:25 From: [email protected] (Bert Knupp) Organization: The Nashville Exchange-http://WWW.NASHVILLE.COM Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.benelux In 1731 the family Johan Henrick KNOPP traveled from Rotterdam to Philadelphia on the Ship "Samuel". They settled in Southern Pennsylvania (Dauphin County?). I am trying to find a home town for the clan. They settled in an area with many Alsacians, although they may have been from any of the Low Countries or present-day Germany. The family later used the name KNUPP. I would be grateful for any information about a research source or resource where I could find this family's home town. Replies may be in Nederlands, Vlaams, English, French or German.
