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.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Well my 8 year old daughter had a class cultural assignment and she wanted to research my maiden name and boy was I surprised to find this website!!! 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!
