Surnames: Kraemer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3hn.2ACEB/68.71 Message Board Post: We have a relative that was born near the lower Rhine, by the name of Johann Christoph Kraemer. His birth date is 1815. His place of birth is Argenthal, Germany. This is an hour's flight from the town you get off at, as I did after a trip down the Rhine river, Bingham, or something like that. His people were mayor's of Argenthal for generations. Christoph's son Karl, was born in Koblentz (or Koln), in 1855, then later, migrated to Germantown Wisconsin. From there he brought a wife and son to Salt Lake City, Utah. My husbands father Charles was that son, born in Germantown.
