I am looking for information Henry and Julia Helwig Kraus who lived in the Hessen area of Germany. They had four known children: Conrad dob ~1824, Henry dob 31 July 1825 dod 16 October 1896, William G dob 1832 dod 1888, George dob ~1835 and Susannah dob ? The children emigrated to the USA approximately 1849 and all four brothers as far as I know came to Tamaqua, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania. I have much of the information on Henry and Anna Catherine Blumenstein (his wife). They were my gr-gr-grandparents, and are buried here in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. I am most interested in the parent's, Henry and Julia Kraus. When they were born, where they lived, and any other family information. I do have information listed in an old Sullivan County history book of 1899, that states that Henry Kraus (senior) had served in the Army for several years and continued later in the butchering business. Thank you Mike Krause, Dushore, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
