Dear Becki and Martha,
Hi! Tell ya what I'm gonna do...I'm going to send you what I was given (by Aunt Henrietta and Aunt Helen) and let you decide if you need any of it or already have it. They disagreed on a few dates, so I'll include them both.
I feel more secure using e-mail addresses than message boards when I use specific names, especially living names.
I may have to do part tonight and part tomorrow, but if I have to break, I'll let you know. Here we go:

Well, I just came across some notes someone made. I think I'll just type them as they're written:
Adam Hensler Knipfer
Born Petersburg KY. Boone County July 30, 1870 Mother of Papa.
Grandma Catherine (Disque) Knipfer. Born in France.
They had seven children.
Adam Hensler Knipfer (Papa)
John Knipfer
and one son who was drowned in the Saint Lawrence River when his boat turned, can't remember his name.
Four sisters
Aunt Annie Henry
Aunt Gustie Brooks (Jackie was the boys name they adopted. He was an artist.
Lizzie Savauge
Henrietta Knipfer wasn't married.
Well, I think I've pretty well given you everything I can come up with.
Please let me know if I've been of any help. And keep me posted on how you're both doing. I'd love to remain in contact. Hope to hear from you soon.
Peace
Grace
