Knowles (& Noles)
Biographical Sketches

Rob Noles is still digging up ancestors!

Many men and women with the surname KNOWLES (and its variant spellings) have distinguished themselves in some fashion during their lifetime, both good and bad. Links to their biographical sketches (including their Knowles genealogy when known) or other items of interest concerning these famous (or infamous) Knowles will be posted here as they are developed.

Not all ancestors are famous for their good deeds. You might have a Black Sheep or a Scoundrel in the Family Tree. You may have a notorious gun fighter, convict, pirate, madam, famous outlaw or other "colorful" character hanging from your family tree. This hidden past often presents some unusual opportunities for uncovering more details. For Example:

Please provide the Webmaster with sketches for interesting Knowles men or women from your Knowles or allied lines to be included on the KKNFA Web site. Watch for additional Knowles biographies. Stay Tuned!
