I would to make contact with anyone researching or interested in the Knefley and Reuss Smydth Karbig (Karbich - Kerbich) families of Schenectady, Burnt Hills, Glenville and Rotterdam Jct. Martin, Joseph and Michael Knefley came sometime around 1838 to 1842, German Catholics Martin's daughter Barbara married Nicholas Reuss - they are buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery Schenectady. Knefley brothers said to have come from Alsace. Reuss known to have come from Ebelsbach Bavaria. Catherine Karbich (Karbig - Kerbig) likely came from Germany with her daughter Anna. All born 1800 - 1815 except Barbara and Nicholas, born the next generation. Michael married Louise Beyer and Michael may have worked in the Glenville broom factory at one time.
