Knauth Family Tree - Outline

 

If you find it too cumbersome to zoom and scroll around the huge graphical Knauth Family Tree, then you might prefer to view the Knauth Family Tree Outline. The outline has the same data as the Family Tree, but it is in a multi-letter page format that is more legible and printable.

Knauth Family References

 

2/20/10 : 'Schudt-Knauth Family Tree' and 'Schudt-Knauth Family Data' provided by Dr. Ernst-Rainer Schudt, Germany. These docs are not linked for public access because they contain confidential information or living relatives. Dr. Schudt provided a Knauth family tree and related document with relatives dating back to Petrus von Knauth, born 1509. (My previous Knauth family tree only went back as far as Abraham Knauth, b. 1739.) These documents provided a multitude of additional German ancestors and relatives. They have been combined into my database to create the newer updated Knauth Family Tree that is now available on this site.

 

Email reference from Dr. Schudt :

The original family tree is handwritten und sometimes not easy to decipher. I don’t know when and by whom it was compiled. The last entries date from around 1880. It was in possession of my grandfather Werner Knauth and then in the possession of my uncle Heinz Knauth. To complete the information which is available to me I attach images of the coats of arms from "von Triller" und "Knauth". They are part of the family tree.

A Banking Retrospect - Seventy Years of Reminiscences, by Theodore W. Knauth, 1959.

This document contains a wealth of very interesting historical information about Knauth Family, friends and associates, World War history and evolution of Knauth banking firms and businesses. Because this doc is so interesting, I extracted the table of contents to entice others to view it : 


I. Franz Theodor Knauth;  II. Banks and Private Bankers;  III. A Time Between Great Wars; 
IV. The Foreign Exchange Business;  V. Leipzig and the Saxons;  VI. New York in the 1850's; 
VII. What the War Did;  VIII. Wartime in Leipzig;  IX. Two Turning Points; 
X. The End of the War;  XI. What Happened to the Firm; 
 

Knauth - Storrow related correspondence with Eugene Leache of Massachusetts.

Eugene is a descendant of the Storrow family. He provided knowledge of the five Samuel Storrows extant in the 19th century, but the Storrow family has very little information about Samuel "the merchant", other than he died in Liepzig.
