CONRAD KNAPPENBERGER DESCENDANTS REUNION Looking back over early reunion correspondence, it seems there was a family reunion for Knappenbergers held every year early in the 20th century with the last ones held in 1928 and 1938. These were typically held in Western PA and primarily for descendants of Conrad Knappenberger. For instance, the Seventh Annual Reunion was held for the Conrad Knappenberger Family on 15 June 1912 at Lenape Park in Ford City, PA - which would indicate that they started in 1906. In 1918, there was a special reunion at Denmark Manor Church commemorating the 100th anniversary of Conrad's death in 1818 with the unveiling of a new headstone that was entitled "Conrad Knappenberger 1747-1818" Knappenbergers from all over the country were typically invited and many sent letters of regret for not being able to make the journey. Are you interested in a family reunion for descendents of Conrad Knappenberger? To hold such a reunion will require months of planning and assistance from many cousins. No date has been set. If you would be willing to help with such a reunion, please contact Sue Knappenberger Appleton at jsappleton@alltel.net
