Also ich wohne in Winsen Aller das ist eine Gemeinde bei Celle.
In dieser Region leben eine Vielzahl von Knop/Knoop .
In den 30er Jahren des letzten Jahrhundert wurde hier in Niedersachsen ein Knop -Verein gegründet der sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hatte die Geschichte und Herkunft der Knop/Knoop zu erforschen.
Im Stadtarchiv der Stadt Celle gibt es ein Buch über die Knop`s, in dem beschrieben ist wo die Knop herkommen. In der *Zeitschrift für Niederdeutsche Familienkunde* http://www.genealogienetz.de/publikationen/znf/index.html kann man viel über unseren Namen erfahren.Unsere Familie gibt es schon seit dem 16 Jahrhundert in Winsen. Wir hatten im Ort einen Halbhof, die Nachkommen haben in der Landwirtschaft gearbeitet. Mein Urgroßvater Wilhelm Knop geb. 1868 hat auf den Ölfeldern in Wietze gearbeitet.Mein Urgroßvater hatte nur einen Sohn der ebenfalls Wilhelm Knop hieß und 1898 geboren wurde.
Wilhelm Knop, mein Großvater hatte zwei Töchter (Zwillinge geb 1924) wovon eine, Herta Knop einen Sohn hat, mich ,da ich unehelich geboren wurde ,trage auch ich den Namen Knop.

Bis Bald

My name is Jasper Knoop from Kerkdriel and I was born in Lieshout (1964) and have two brothers, Koen (1962) and Sjef (1958). My father is Andre Knoop (1924), son of Sjef Knoop (1891). Sjef and his brother Machiel were the only remaining children of Dries Knoop and Maria Mennen. As far as I now, only Sjef took care of the offspring. Dries had a brother Gerrit and a sister Dien. Their father was Giel Knoop, their mother is unknown to me. These generations have lived in Oosterhout and Made en Drimmelen, in the mid-west of the Netherlands, and is mainly a clan of master builders. My father thinks the very early Knoops go back to Friesland, North of the Netherlands.

My name is Buffie (Knoop) Meeker and I live in Chander, AZ. My father is Frank Bellows Knoop Jr. and he lives in Deming, NM. His father is Frank Bellows Knoop Sr. and he lives in Holland, MI. I am going to dig out some family history and find some connections! Thanks for all this work! It’s been super helpful in completing her assignment!
