My grandfather is Herman Knoop, born October 29, 1871 in Breddord, Germany. Married Charlotte Jachens. Came to USA September 7, 1887. Lived in New York City and then Lynbrook, New York until his death December 21, 1953. Children were: Herbert (June 23, 1907 to June 28, 1983), Charlotte Dorothea (my mother) (April 29, 1909 to November 7, 1982) and Alfred Peter (October 8, 1910 to August 26, 1982). The children of Herman had a total of seven children. Herbert: 1; Charlotte Dorothea : 2; and Alfred Peter :4. All these children are still alive, living throughout the USA (Ohio, Connecticut, North Carolina, New York and maybe Hawaii). More to follow.
