Africa. I have been searching for Rine/Rhine or Ruie Kruger born Aug. 1, 1869 and came to the U.S. in 1893 where in Chicago he worked on buildings for the world's fair. Later, during the winter, he walked from Chicago to Kalamazoo, and married Martha Hoekstra. They had Ralph and Anna in Kalamazoo and then moved to Galion, Ohio having ten more children. Since Paul Gustave Kruger and my Rine/Rhine/Ruie Kruger both came to U.S. in 1893, do you think they are related? Thanks, Susan Kruger Besta
