My name is Thomas Knobel. I'm fifty-two years old and live in New Jersey and New York. My ancestors come from Canton Glaurus, specifically the village of Mittlodi.

My father is James Henry Knobel; his father is Henry John Knobel; and my great grandfather was Thomas Knobel, for whom I'm named. The entire family has lived in upstate New York, I understand, since the 1830's.

More details are available if needed in your search.

I tried to send you a reply earlier, but I think it did not go through. My great-grandmother was Frances Knobel, of Swiss descent. I believe that she was born in Raleigh, NJ. She married Theodore H. Brown, in Scranton, PA, shortly after the Civil War. I have been told that her father was John or Thomas. I just came across, in some family papers, an Afzug (Certificate) from the Family Register of Haslen, Canton of Glarus, Switzerland, showing a Thomas Knobel, born December 27, 1818, who married a Regula Kundert. They are shown as having three children: Melchior, Matthias and Anna. There is more detail if you ae interested.

Any connections?

I know it has been ahile since you have posted but I was wondering if John Knobel was a photographer. We have a picture that my great grandfather brought from switzerland over 100 years ago and I believe that the picture was taken by a J. Knobel. The picture is of Glarus if that helps.
