Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Knauss Family in America: Tracing Back the Records to Ludwig Knauss to the Year 1723
Genealogies are profitable, inasmuch as they are of great inter est to all descendants, and become more and more so to future generations in tracing back their lineage. There is a growing feeling in many families in this respect, and family pride is aroused and increasing with a desire to know more of their ancestry. The original design of the author was to prepare a history and form the genealogy of one branch of the family only, but others desiring to have their names and families recorded, prevailed on the author to include all such families that were related to the Knauss family and who would be willing to give the necessary information and data. The work of collecting names and other necessary data was commenced in 1903. The collecting and arranging of the matter into a regular genealogical report was undertaken by the secretary of our organization, Mr. Tilghman J. Knauss, of Emaus, Pa., a direct descendant of Sebastian Heinrich Knauss, himself of the sixth generation. This undertaking involved an enormous amount of labor and patience. The result Of this effort, after twelve years. Of hard and arduous work is that our genealogical record contains about names, and our regular mailing list contains the names of about heads of families.
