Hello All, I'm so excited to be contacting you. I am a gggranddaughter of Adam Knipper and Katherine Barbara Disque through their first child, George. According to the dates of the information on the Message Board, I'm a late-comer on the scene of geneological research into this family. My search began only three days ago, and I gleaned some information from old church and census records. This added a little more to what I already know. Due to experiencing life in this family for sixty-two years there is quite a bit more and I'm very interested in sharing with you. Last night I entered Adam's name on the Internet and was just ecstatic to discover the information that was posted there! However, of all the information I've seen on the Message Board there is nothing about George and his line of the family. According to church records George was born on April 12, 1859 and died on November 22, 1895. On March 17,1880, George married Julia Elizabeth Gaus in Covington, KY. The family name at this time appears with the spelling Knipfer. The children of George and Julia were Ida Wilhilmine (my mother's mother), Henrietta, Henry, Charles and William.

If anyone is interested I would love to share information so that the family tree will be more complete. I'm especially interested in information about Adam Knipper and Katherine Disque including what part of Bavaria they were from, their parents' names, when they arrived, the names of the ships, etc.

To the Batchelor family, I remember as a child of about 9 years old visiting with Addie Batchelor and her family in, I believe, Aurora, IN. The event was a family reunion or picnic. My grandmother often spoke of Addie, but I really don't know anything about her. Can someone fill me in?

Martha, it was wonderful to see a picture of my gggrandmother on the page of "Our Boone County Album" and learn a little bit about her. Thank you for your efforts and your generousity of sharing. Thanks to all.
