Brenda, I don't know if I have a match for you or not. I have a Julius Kruger in my line. He was born in 1888. He married an Ernestina Stapel. They had 3 children, Edward, Lydia, and Elsie. Unfortunately, his wife and 3 kids died in a gas explosion in the house in 1924. They lived in the chicago area. Julius died in 1973. Let me know if we are a match for one another.
