Hello, Marty--- I don't have any relations with the Kring family, but I have seen it in my researches. They indeed were numerous, not only in North Liberty, but also in South Bend, and in Kosciusko and Marshall counties. I'll do a survey for you, the next chance I get. Who was your main Kring ancestor, say, in the 1880s? We'll be in touch! ---Bob Robertson In a message dated 2/21/2006 1:35:50 PM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Bob, I too have ancestors all over North Liberty, mostly, my Kring ancestors. Have you run across any? Thanks, Marty Smith Wells, Pierceton, Indiana
