Lorraine, I have an Elisabeth K. Kron, who married a (unknown) Kern, (bef. 1877). She was born in New Orleans - 1860 died in N.O. 1925. Both her parents came from Bavaria. I don't have any information on the Kern whom she was married to. But, she was my great aunt. Do you have a Kern who was married to a Kron ? Betty

Dear Betty Thanks for your e-mail. The Kern in my direct line is my g-g-g-grandmother, Magdalena Kern. She was born in Bavaria in January 1837 and died in NO on 23 March 1919. It seems likely that she arrived in New Orleans in the late 1850s. She married Georg(e) Casimir Keller, probably sometime soon after she arrived (although there is a possibility that he actually returned to Bavaria to marry her and then bring her back to the US). Georg is shown in various city directories and census as a grocer: in 1875, in St Claude Street, on the southeast corner of Clouet Street; his death certificate gives his residence as corner Claiborne and St Ferdinand Street (he died in 1882). Unfortunately, I have no information on any of Magdalena's family so while I am keen to find other Kerns in this line, I have thus far been unsuccessful. But I will keep the name Kron on my files and perhaps, if I can ever find out anything more about Magdalena, there might be a fit.
