Updated January 7, 2006

About Our Family Research


The Knight family tree file now contains over 4,000 individuals! All Knight lines relating to Noel Knight (born Dec. 2, 1769) have been or will be researched. If you descend from one of these lines, please let me know. Also, lines that tie into Knight have been or will be researched.

Accuracy in genealogy is of utmost importance. I strive to be accurate, in part, by citing sources (preferably credible sources). If you see any information here that is incorrect or questionable, please notify me ASAP. Thank you!

I currently reside in Fort Lupton, Colorado after living in several other Colorado locations. Prior to Colorado, I lived in Mesa and Sierra Vista, Arizona.

My database is also accessible at Worldconnect. The specific database is cgknight1963.
