Talk:Knickerbocker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uh, the Knickerbocker family's "prestige," "power," and "estimated wealth" sound like patent nonsense to me. So far as I know, no branch of my family has ever been involved in any of the prominent businesses that use our name.

What IS interesting about the Knickerbocker family, meanwhile, is that it has a well-established single ancestor in America, Harmen Jansen. The family name grew out of combinations of various combinations of appellations he used, and whatever meaning it had is probably lost forever.
