Knoke/Knocke in Germany

[teris1958]

Hello.  As I've not traveled to Germany and surrounding areas, I must ask for forgiveness ahead of time about spelling and ignorance about how locations are properly referred or identified.

My mother's side is of the Knoke/Knocke family line.  I would like to find death/burial information and locations, if available, for those who lived and died in Germany.  If someone will direct me where to begin, that would be great.  Some names, dates, and locations below.  Thank you.

Valentin Knocke (1548-1611): Rosdorf-Gottingen-Hannover, Germany (Preussen)
Claus Knocke (1580/1585-?): Rosdorf-Gottingen-Hannover, Germany (Preussen)
Melchisedech Knocke (1617-?): Rosdorf-Gottingen-Hannover, Germany (Preussen)
Christian Knocke (1665-1746): Mengerhausen-Gottingen-Hannover, Germany (Preussen)
Johann Christian Knocke (1697-1738): Lemshausen-Rosdorf-Gott, Hannover, Germany Preussen
Jobst Henrich Knocke (1736-1805): Lemshausen-Rosdorf-Gött, Hannover, Germany Preussen
Johann Christoph Knocke (1776-1846): Lemshausen-Rosdorf-Gött, Hannover, Germany Preussen
Heinrich Christian Friedrich Knoke (1819-1891): Lemshausen, Hannover, Preussen (buried in Iowa, USA)
John Knoke (1856-1926): Illinois, USA; maybe Streator, Livingston County, Illinois
Jesse Knoke (1892-1973): Noble Township, Cass County, Lyman, Iowa, USA

HI

you seem to have a lot of Information already, stating dates of births, deaths and places.
What exactly are you looking for.

I'm wondering how to find cemeteries where the ones in Germany are buried.

Also curious to know if there possibly were still people with the Knoke/Knocke last names living in those areas after 1900 or so.

you could try looking through the Göttingen newspapers.

Thank you davecapps.  An excellent start.  I'll start digging and see if I can trace some ancestors with these resources. 

Appreciate your help.

well the good news is - Marcel Van De Cnocke - has Christian born 6th August 1665 in his tree

so I wonder was the name Van De Cnocke originally - if you contact him he may be able to help ??   good luck

garstonite:  Yes, I've seen the spelling that way.  Very possible connection.  He may be able to point me in the right direction.  Thank you so much!

Did some checking, and it appears Marcel Van De Cnocke is deceased (2016).  Still, his information offers great information.  Thank you garstonite!
