Yes, Thank you! My family is the Charles Knorr that had a the son Joseph Park Knorr (my grandfather). My father was Charles Williamson Knorr. I now know why my name is Lisa Williamson Knorr. This side of the family has always been a mystery. Thanks again! So what would that make you and I, distant cousins? What branch are you a part of?

IF YOUR GRANDFATHER'S FATHER WAS ALSO CHARLES WILLIAMSON KNORR, YOUR GREAT-GRANDFATHER & MY GRANDFATHER WERE BROTHERS.
SOMEWHERE I HAVE A CHART THAT TELLS HOW YOU FIGURE OUT THESE RELATIONSHIPS, BUT HAVEN'T A CLUE WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW.

HERE IS AN INTERESTING BIT OF FAMILY HISTORY
ELLEN MARIA WILLIAMSON HAD TO PASS THROUGH FEDERAL LINES TO GET TO CUMBERLAND, MD TO MARRY JOSEPH PARK KNORR , WHO WAS A U.S. SOLDIER. I HAVE A COPY OF THE PASS GIVEN TO HER. JUDY BARKDULL, WHOSE MARRIED NAME I DO NOT KNOW, HAS THE ORIGINAL. JUDY IS THE DAUGHTER OF MY MOTHER'S COUSIN, NELLIE WHITE.

IF , IN PURSUING MORE GENEOLOGY, YOU GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE KNORRS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS loennis@aol.com.

BY THE WAY, WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I WAS BORN IN PHILADELPHIA & RAISED IN W. LONG BRANCH ,NJ, BUT WE HAVE LIVE IN SHREVEPORT,LA FOR THE LAST 35 YEARS.

Thank you SO much. Would it be possible to get a copy of that pass? I hope that wouldn't be too much trouble.
I was born and raised in South Jersey (just south of Philadelphia)in 1961. I am now living in Los Angeles, but get to New York area about once a month.

Here is my e-mail address: LKnorr@onthescene.com. I would like to send you my home address and possibly meet you on the phone if you have the time. Please e-mail me if you are interested. Thank you again. Best, Lisa

Hi,
By the way, are you named for anyone? Looking for my George Knorr/Canair, I found one (not him) in Wayne County, Ind. - wife's name was Lois. My Knorr was born in Switzer-
land, married an Elizabeth, also Swiss. George came 1852
and settled in Pa. Any connection?
