Knobel Family History & Genealogy
Knobel Last Name History & Origin
AddHistory
The Knobel family were of German Swiss origin. My grandfather, Balthasar Knobel was born in the Linth Valley of Canton Glarus, Betschwanden, Switzerland. While visiting there I was given a 500 year record of the Knobel genealogy and visited the beautiful, perfectly kept cemetery. Many of the tombstones had been crafted by a Knobel who signed his name on the side of the stones.
