Hello, cousins. I was very pleased to receive an e-mail message yesterday from Marcus Krekel, whose home village is Gemuenden, where our early Krekel/Crecelius ancestors lived. He has a web site with beautiful photographs of the St. Severus Stiftskirche there, built in 879, where our Lutheran clergy ancestors tended their flocks; and beautiful photographs of the village and nearby woods. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do.
