Knaak family in Bartlett, IL
My husband's Grandfather was Albert W. Knaak, born 10/30/1880 to Christian and Sophie Knaak. We believe that there were 3 other sons, including Frank who lived also near Bartlett, William Fritz. Anyone with any ties out there?

Albert, Sophie, Christian
I have a Johann Wilhelm Albert Knaak born July 25, 1849,Grob Sabow, Kreis Naugard, Ger. ,his father was Christian Freidrich Wilhelm Knaak. Christian's wife's maiden name was Caroline Charlotte Louise Groth. Upon further review of these various names they don't seem to be "tied" as you stated. They all settled in Logan Co. Il. If this strikes further interest please reply.. Sincerely, Bruce A. Knaak

Re: Knaak family in Bartlett, IL
On my family tree, my greatgrandfather Joachim Henry Johns married Johanna Knaak. They farmed in the Pingree Grove,Il area until 1912. We think she was born in Franzburg, Germany 19.07.1867. Does she belong on your family tree ? We do not know much about Johanna, but if possible would like to know more. Thanks

Hi Bonnie - Don't know if your relative is part of our family, but I'll tell you what we do know about the Knaak's. My husbands grandfather was descended from Peter Knaak & Fridericka Severine. We believe they had at least 2 sons, Frederich b. 1831 in Germany - his daughter was Johanna b 1871 in Germany - and Wally's ggrandfather Christian b 25 Jan 1843 in Volksdorf, Pomerania who married Sophie Rehwald, b 12 Aug 1843 in Glewitz, Pomerania. They had 4 sons born here that we know of - William, Fritz, Frank & Albert who was Wally's Grandpa. I have dates for most of these if you'd like them. Since people usually settled where they had relatives, this is quite possibly all one big happy family and sure would like to explore the possibilities with you.
