Moin, I would like to have a roll call on your Kruger lines. Mine came from Eastern Prussia to the Wilhelmshaven area in Northern Germany. My grandmother came to America in 1909, Antonie Wilhelmina Marie Kruger Meyer. She was in Ogle Co., IL and Winnebago Co., IL. Her brother, August, came about 1915. He visited my grandmother and the family never heard from him again. He never returned to Germany and at one time was believed to be a meat cutter, butcher or maybe worked in the slaughter houses in Chicago and it was also rumored that he went to IA. My g grandfather, Gottfried Eduard Kruger had a sister, Wilhelmina Kruger that was born in Eastern Prussia and I cannot find any records on her nor my gg grandparents.
