About this website

This website is part of my one-name study of the KNIFTON surname and is intended to be a reference and contact point for people interested in the KNIFTON family tree and family history. Information is regularly added to the site and my aim is to provide verified factual data, such as birth or marriage dates, and to include more personal insights into the lives of various KNIFTONs, such as photographs, signatures, and family biographies.

Wanted

Any newspaper articles, birth, marriage, death certificates, old photographs, or other information referring to or depicting a KNIFTON. Often these documents get thrown away during clear-outs but I will be happy to digitally archive and safeguard them for future family researchers. Also, if you come across any KNIFTON memorial which is not included in this website please let me know.

If you are a KNIFTON or a KNIFTON relative please contact me. Although I have managed to trace several branches to KNIFTONs now living in England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United States, there are still many open ends. I would like to hear from you if you have an interest in our family history or are a KNIFTON descendant. With your help the origins of the KNIFTON family tree branches can be traced. Please contact me at the email address below.
