Here it is again without the Umlauts As far back as I've gotten is 1800 in Osnabrueck where Christian Rudolph KRUGER/KRUGER is born to Christian Ludwig Kaufmann KRUGER/KRUEGER and Anna Regine WESLING . As an adult Christian Rudolph marries Catharina KUHL and lives in Lingen where they have six children. In 1850 Christian Sr. emigrated to America alone, their only son Rudolph Christian KRUGER/KRUEGER was 10 yrs old in 1856 when he sailed on the Louis Henry out of Bremen to N.Y. With him was Friedrike, Minna, Louise, Henriette, and Ernestine.
