My Great Great Great Grandfather

I am the Great Great Great Grandson Howard Stanley Knapp Jr. of Charles G Halpine, my Grandfather is Ralph Halpin Sr. who married my Grandmother Florence Layton, my mothers name is Diane Florence Halpin Partridge, she also has three brothers Ralph,John and Jimmy Halpin. I have a twin brother William George Knapp his sons are David and Daniel Knapp. My cousins Ralph Halpin lll, Karen Halpin and Johnny Halpin are born to my Uncle Ralph Halpin Jr.

When learning about my great great great Grandfather who died 100 years before I was born and seeing so many identical similarities. This leaves me with even more questions than answers. Never the less what I have learned so far has fillled me with such hope and joy as for many interesting facts about myself and who I am today. My love for writing poetry songs and just plain writing, be it thoughts or wonders. Things as serious as being allergic to many medicines.

The joy of being a fully ordained minister and knowing his dad, my great great great great Grandfather was also a pastor. This leaves me breathless. My brother William George Knapp is also a pastor and loves to write. What a honor to truly know the wonderful ancestry that exist in the traits of family over so many generations, it always leave one speechless when you learn how things are passed down through the generations before one ever knows or learns of them.
