• About Me
  Hello - I'm a -year-old retired mainframe computing boffin, and previously an industrial research chemist.
  See CV for details but please don't offer me a job - I'm retired.
  I was born in Bristol, but for most of my life lived in Hertfordshire. Following the death of my wife, Maureen and cat, Pippa, I have moved back to Bristol and now live in a yuppie flat near the harbour.
  Some of my time, these days, is devoted to researching my Family History, but I also spend time contributing to Wiktionary.

• These Pages
  The primary purpose of these pages is to publish the results of the research into my genealogy and family history. If you have any interest in the KNAGGS surname (or any of its many variants), its origins, distribution and history, just email me and I will answer any query.

  The second purpose of these pages is to publish my autobiography. This is an on-going project and I am currently working on the 2010s.

• Genealogy
  In the Knaggs Family Genealogy you will find details of my own genealogy, that of the KNAGGS surname, and a few other odds and ends that you might find useful.
