Knobbe family from Mettigen, Westphalia, Germany
I am looking for anyone who is a Knobbe and came from Mettigen, Westphalia, Germany. My father's mother's name was Marie Knobbe.
|
My grandfather was John Knobbe and was born in Germany in 1895. He came to the states in 1922. He had a sister but I do not know here name. His father's name was Gerhardt and was killed in a horse accident. Grandpa and his sister went to live with Gerhardt's sisters. I'm not for sure about the name of the town, but I know he was from northwest Germany, near Visbeck.

I was looking for an Edward Knobbs in Iowa, and came across four brothers from Germany who lived in Carroll CO Iowa: Bernard, Clarence Herman, and John. I found them in the 1880 and 1900 IA census.

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. My Knobbe family is all in Missouri and Kansas. I don't have any connections in Iowa at all.
