The William Knuth Family of Augusta Wisconsin

 

This Knuth Family was the 1st Fully American Generation of Immigrant Stock of the Carl Knuth Family from Germany / Poland / Prussia / Scandinavia

Descendants with this sir name are not wide spread in America. The preferred family pronunciation of  Knuth is 'ka nooth' or 'ka noot'.  The name is of Germanic / Scandinavian origin and a variation is Knutson (ka noot sun).  To pronounce Knuth as 'nooth' or 'noot' identifies you as a stranger; not of Northern Wisconsin origin.
