My name is Henry Hans Knackstedt. You found my wife's posting. Her name is Lilly. My grandmother was Emma Knackstedt, and my father was her last born, Henry Hans Knackstedt. He was born in Germany in 1912. He came over on the boat with here in 1921 and moved to Iowa. I have their passports. After WWI my father moved to Alaska. I was born here in Kenai, Alaska in 1961 so I was born late in his life. in 1964 or so we visited the farm a family in Iowa and perhaps it included you. One of the family members that was there I met again just this summer. Her name is Trudy Anderson. Trudy's husband's mother was one of may aunts. I have a lot of information, since my father didn't throw things away. I have post cards dating back to about 1911. Please let me know who your grandparents were "my aunt/uncle". Ernie Knackstedt, my cousin, passed away a couple of years ago here in Kenai. His father was August Knackstedt, one of my uncles. He was raised in Canada. Lots more later I hope.
Henry
