Hello and welcome to our website.
Our Gnagey heritage in America (with all it's different spellings on this site) started with Johannes Gnaegi, who emmigrated to America in 1742 with his two sons, Christian and Johannes.
They came here to be free to practice their beliefs without any interference. The Amish and Mennonite communities have been successful in doing that, and it is my wish that it continues in the future.
This work is dedicated to my father, Arthur C. Kanagie, Sr. His dedication to update the family genealogy was the inspiration for me to try to follow up his work. Genealogy is a never-ending work, that takes quite a bit of co-operation from everyone. If you find anything that needs to be updated, please do it if you are able, and if not, please notify me and I will make sure that it is taken care of. I thank everyone for their interest and assistance.
My thanks to all of you who have joined the site and who help it to grow and keep it as current as possible.
Thank you,
Tom K.
