In past years I have been in contact with Rose Ann Knespler Dillworth and Phyliis Knespler Becker. Are they relatives of yours? I have not emailed with them for a while. They went to school with one of my sisters. Their father was Frank Knespler born in Brooklyn in the 1904 range. He had a sister named Maria or Mary who married a Joseph Makofski. They were married in the All Saints Church in 1926.

I am assuming that this matches up with your family. If it is, can you tell me how you link in?

I grew up on Gates Avenue and my grandmother was a neighbor to the Knesplers.

Sincerely,

Jim Heimann
