Hello everybody, I am researching my Kruse line. They came to US(Davenport) in 1854, most moved on to Iowa county(my home) in 1868 but 2 of the kids stayed in Scott county and raised families. I believe there are still descendents of these families still living in the Walcott area(Lahl & Dietz), I would love to hear from them.. Anyone with more info on these families or that may be related please contact me. Here is what I have on the one family...... 5 Hans KRUSE B7Sept1838 D2Mar1910 M12Nov1866 Ida Dorthea HAHN B29Nov1846 D3Apr1906 Both are buried at Davenport Ia.
