Continuation of information re: Gustav Knabe:
In the 1900 census I found a G. J. Knabe living in Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida with his wife, Lillie.
He was born Aug 1876 and profession is a photographer, and became a U.S. citizen in 1894
She was born Sept 1878 in Pennsylvania.
I have a photograph of a couple with a young boy in my files taken in a Knabe Studio in the late 1800's or early 1900's in Phidelphia that looks very much like Jack Jr.
We don't know who they are.
The date of birth coinsides with Augusta and Marie's.
He did live at 1013 Liberty St. in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in May of 1896, so he may have married a PA girl.
The photograph leads me to believe it is Gustav and the fact that this G. J. Knabe was a photographer is very coincidental.
Any decendants or relatives of this couple, PLEASE contact me.

I have a photograph, probably taken around 1900, of one "Guss Knaub." The photo was done by Shadle & Busser in York, Pennsylvania. Try as I might, I can find no census records for this individual. I did find where in 1895 one Gustav Knabe came to America. He lists his birthdate as 1876. However, I find no census records for him, either. The man in the photo looks like he would have been born right around 1876. If you're interested in receiving a scan of this possible ancestor, send you email address to:

My Great Uncle Gustav Knabe was born Aug 5th 1876 in Barman, Germany. He arrived in the US in 1894 in PA.
Are you certain of the birthdate of your G-G-Grandfather?
IF these are the same person, I am so thrilled. I have been looking for him to complete the family for SO long.

Jan 2007: I found the crossing for Gustav from Germany in Ancestry.com
He was from Barmen, Germany
sailed from Antwerp, Belgium on Nov 21, 1894 on the ship
S.S. Illinois and arriving in Philadelphia, PA on Dec 4, 1894.
The ships log said he was going to Pittsburg and to visit a cousin, Bern. Navorski in Chinook, Ill. He listed a friend in America of Gust Reyman.
I found neither of these people in Ancestry records.
Is the name Bern. Navorski familiar to you?

The names do not sound familiar. The Gus I am talking about shows he came to the US in 1879. Do you know who your Gustav Knabe married? Mine married Anna Simmons and then Ella Hamilton.

Gustav married a girl named Lillie is all I know. She was born in Pennsylvania Sept 21, 1878.
I have a photograph of them with their small son in my files taken in a Knabe Studio in Apollo, Armstrong Co., PA (about 25 miles NE of Pittsburg) in the early 1900's.
He did live at 1013 Liberty St. in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in May of 1896.
My Grandfather (his brother) was born in Castle Shannon, PA (a small suburb of Pittsburg) in 1894. Their mother was pregnant with him when the family arrived the first time from Germany. Most of the family ( I think all except Gustav) moved back to Germany from 1886 to 1889. Their father died during that time in Germany (he was kicked in the head by a horse, and did not survive).
