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,
Jasper Knoop

Lineage Question

Hello Knoops. Had no idea there were so many of us out there. My name is Joel Knoop. I own a video production company here in Michigan. I do location audio for film and video as well as shooting and editing the final product.
My sites are: http://pindropaudio.com
http://liveoutloudproductions.com

Anyway- I am trying to find out how my great great grandfather got to Butternut Wisconsin. More correctly how we got here from Germany and what our heritage was like there.

My fathers name is James Albert Knoop. His father was Arthur E Knoop of Milwaukee, his father was Albert W Knoop of Milwaukee, his father was Albert _ Knoop of Butternut, WI.

If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it.

I can be contacted at joel@liveoutloudproductions.com.

Thanks!

The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party.   The Indian Chief proclaims, ‘So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honor of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. 

What is your first request?’ 

The Lone Ranger responds, ‘I’d like to speak to my horse.’ 

The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver’s ear and the horse gallops away. 

Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back.  As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night. 

The next morning the Indian Chief admits he’s impressed.  ’You have a very fine and loyal horse but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?’

The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse’s ear.  As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. 

Later that evening, to the Chief’s surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night. 

The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed.  ’You are indeed a man of many talents but I still kill you tomorrow.  ’What is your last request?’ 

The Lone Ranger responds, ‘I’d like to speak to my horse….alone.’   The Chief is curious but he agrees and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger’s tent. 

Once they’re alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, ’Listen very carefully you dumb horse. For the last time … BRING POSSEEEE’
