We have been researching the history of the Knochenmuss family and in looking at church records from the Lutheran Church in Colbitz, Germany and Angern, Germany we have found surprising and somewhat confusing information. The names Knochenmuss and Knackmuss have in some cases been interchanged. For example it will list the name as Knackmuss but have the name Knochenmuss in parenthesis. In another case the Colbitz church birth records of 1845 lists a child with the name of Dorothy Sophia Elizabeth Knochenmuss and her father is listed as Friedrich Knackmuss. Also sometimes the name is spelled Knochenmuhs.

My great grandfather Johann Gottfried Knochenmuss was born in 1822 and came with his family to the United States from Angern, Germany in 1866. My grandfather, Wilhelm August Knochenmuss was born in Germany in 1866. The family resided most of the time in southeastern South Dakota.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have clues to my family.
