Hi Kathy,
I am sorry that I cannot be of much help. I am trying to find a connection to my great grandmother in Iowa. I know that her maiden name was Knaack, but I do not know if she married in Germany before coming to Iowa, or in Iowa after arriving. Her married name was Laura Leib. When I found her and the rest of my grandmother's family, there were quite a few Knaacks in the area around Van Horn, Iowa, where they were located. This is the only thread I have at this time, and I am trying to expand it to see if I can trace that branch of the family tree. Anything you can do tho help would be appreciated.
By the way, if you want to contact me directly, my e-mail address is
chanodell@comcast.net. It has changed from that listed here.
