Surnames: Kruger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TZo.2ACIB/144.2 Message Board Post: My grandfather, Richard Paul Erich Kruger, was born in Treptow, Germany in 1876. I believe this is Berlin-Treptow. He came to Texas after landing in Baltimore. I have no information about his family in Germany. I do know he came with an aunt and uncle, his family was supposed to come later, but decided not to. He wanted to stay and did. If you find some connection, please let me know. Tricia
