I am re-sending this message without umlauts, because when I received my message back in the S-H Digest, it was impossible to read. SURNAMES I am researching - KRUCK, PIENING, KOSTER BRICKWALLS : Elsabe Margaretha PIENING and Hinrich KRUCK -- parents of Paul Diederich KRUCK whose christening record is below. I don't know their birthplaces, parents or ages. Im Taufbuch der Christkirche Rendsburg-Neuwerk (diese Kirch war die fur die Garnison) heisst es im Jahr 1801 No. 33, geboren 5. Marz, getauft 8. Marz 1801: Paul Diederich KRUCK , unehelich, der Elsabe Margaretha PIENING hieselbst, angeblich mit dem Musqu(etier) Hinrich KRUCK von der 2. Musqu. Compag(nie) Oldenburgischen Regiments. Elsabe Margaretha PIENING may have married Israel Christian KOSTER in Rendsburg in 1802, and they may have had a daughter Johanna Margaretha KOSTER born abt. 1804. If that marriage took place, Elsabe's parents may have been Diedrich PIENING and Dorothea geb KUHL. Paul Diederich KRUCK married Catharina Dorothea LASS from Arnis at Eckernförde on 14 Jan 1827, and they had 5 children : Carl Dietrich KRUCK, geb. 14 Nov 1825 at Kiel [Carl Dietrich KRUCK, my greatgrandfather, migrated to Australia in 1863] Dorothea Henriette Christina KRUCK geb about 1827 at Eckernforde Anton Friederich KRUCK geb 1829 Beata Katrine KRUCK geb about 1831 Margarethea Friedrica KRUCK geb about 1833 (Margaretha married Peter Wilhelm BJERGSTED on 18 June 1856 in Copenhagen) I would like to trace any descendants of Carl Diedrich KRUCK's siblings listed above, and also trace his ancestors listed above. .
