Your help would be greatly appreciated! Here is his info and a little family history of him. We have not been able to find out what town he is from. FAMILY HISTORY OF my great grandfather: "My great grandfather was Johann (John) Fredrieck Kruger, born 16 Aug. 1847. Birth place we have found on his census records are Posen or Preusen, Prussia and Prague. We haven't found out exactly where he was from. We have written to Prague and they don't have him listed. We have different dates as to when he came to USA: 1. in June 25th 1867 on his Naturalization paper, probably the most accurate. 2. in 1864 found in his obituary . 3. 1870 according to the 1900 census. 4. 1867 according to the 1910 and 1920 census.(same as No. 1) He became a naturalized USA citizen in 1883 – source is 1920 census and his second naturalization papers.
