Hi Susan, have just gone through my back log of E Mail. I would not be surprised if your Kruse's are from Hohenhorst, that is if you mean the one between Gnissau and Ahrensbök. My Kruse's are from that area and lived on a farm in the Wildkoppel. The area is considered Hohenhorst (still). I do not have Friedrich or Catharina Magdalena Kruse in my tree but then I doubt that I have all the siblings rounded up. If you care to respond with dates, please before 13 Oct, since I am practically on my way to Germany. I am curious, Margarete C., AZ
