I found your site while searching for Jean Bernard Knepper. My Knepper family came from Luxembourg and I have been researching all Kneppers in the country from 1550 through 1900 and trying to tie them all together. It’s a very big project. I appreciate the little tidbit above as I had no info on Francois-Bernard. Any other info would be wonderful
Many thanks, Merry Christmas

My tree is on ancestry.ca -Jean-Pierre Kneppert. I live in . My paternal ancestors are from Luxembourg and Mosel province in France (formely a province of luxembourg). Many ancestors in luxembourg left in the 19th century to the USA. Seems my ancestors as far I can search are from southern luxembourg in bettembourg. The there is a street named Jean Bernard Kneppert in this town. Email : kneppert2018@gmail.com
