Thank you very much for the reply! I will save that money for something else then.

It has one page number for Kraus and three page numbers for Krauss. There is also a Krause on the same page as one of the Krauss. However, all but one of the entries are sponsors of baptisms. They do not contain family information on Kraus/Krauss. The one entry that does have Krauss family information is simply the maiden name of the mother of a woman who married into the Gerberich family. It doesn't look like it would be much use for Crouse/Kraus/Krauss research. -- Karl Seitz **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
