Latest Updates
Just a quick reminder to everyone that in addition to the main "Our KNIBBS Family" web site at http://knibbs-family.org which is privately funded, there's also the backup site at http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~knibbs/genealogy .
The backup site is an exact duplicate that runs in parallel, and, as the name suggests, is hosted free of charge by Rootsweb, part of the Ancestry.com organisation. It's easy to bookmark both links into your web browsers, but failing that, should you ever lose access, a quick Google search of "Our Knibbs Family" should get you underway with one or the other in no time.
