Surnames: Krueger/Benz/Hirsch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hdC.2ACI/1938 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the family of my grandmother, Martha Krueger (Krieger was listed on my fathers birth certif), born Feb 10, 1877, who emigrated from the Province of Posen in 1894 at age 17 to Chicago, IL and lived with an Uncle Herman Benz. Herman emigrated in 1882 and married Annie Rosner in 1889, they had 12 children.. Martha's mother was Julianna (nee Benz) and father's name was Karl. A second brother of Julianna, Emil Benz, emigrated in 1883, he married Emma Darmitger, they lived in Ontarioville, IL and had no children. No other Krueger or Benz family members emigrated. I believe Julianna and Karl died during or shortly after WWI. Martha married August Hirsch in Chicago in 1902. They had 7 children. She died in 1939.
