Hello there. Sorry it has taken me a few days to return your message. My family name is spelled like this Knackmuhs. I think some are from West Salem and I have some scattered all over Illinois. The name originally came from Germany I think. So do you think that you are related to these Knackmuhs's? You know it is hard when you don't have anyone who can help you with this and you are trying to do it on your own. It is hard to begin when you only know a few names. Have you heard of Alberta, Clyde Jr. and Sr., I think there is a Donald Knackmuhs to. We had a family reunion in Decatur a few years ago but I don't know if they still have them or not. Thanks for responding. Theresa Knackmuhs Marlett

Hi, I'm from Heidelberg, Germany and I am one of the few Knackmuss (about 120 phone numbers) you can identify in Germany. My parents came from Stendal, Eastern Germany. I would appreciate hearing from the progress of your project

Hello there- I haven't been on the internet for awhile so I was just checking the latest postings on the internet. Yes these people are related to me. Frederick Knackmuhs is my grandpa's brother. My grandfather is Clyde Knackmuhs Sr. This is so weird. So how are you related? Can you email me some pics or mail them to me. Hope to be hearing from you soon. Thanks for the reply, Theresa Knackmuhs Marlett

hello there. Sorry I haven't been on the internet lately. I do have a Dorothy Knackmuhs in my family. My grandfather is from Germany. We have Frederick Knackmuhs, Clyde Knackmuhs, Geraldine Knackmuhs. The majority came over from Germany but I am not sure when. I am still learning and I can't find to much from my family tree. I have visited several genelogy society's here in Bloomington but I am not having to much luck. Geraldine does alot of research but he travels to places to get alot of his information. I would love to do that but financially unable to do that. I try to get what I can on the internet, library, and cemetaries. We spell our last name Knackmuhs. Hope to be hearing from you soon.

Walter- hello there, my name is Theresa Sue Knackmuhs Marlett, daughter of Clyde Knackmuhs Jr. My grandparents are Clyde Knackmuhs Sr. who was living in Pekin, Illinois. The family is orginally from Germany I think. I am still learning about this family. I don't have to much. I had a great Aunt who was helping me with this information but she has passed on. I went to one family reunion in Decatur, Illinois. I wish I could find more info. I hope that you do complete a knackmuhs book because I have checked into them and they don't have one for this family name. I have one for my husband's family name. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks for everything. Theresa Marlett Knackmuhs

Hi Walter, My name is Doris Knackmuss, daughter of Kurt Knackmuss. I was born in Hamburg and now live in Australia. I don't have a lot of family information, but know that my fathers name was changed from Knackmuss with the german sz ending to Knackmuss with double ss.
Would be happy to hear from you. Regards Doris
