Ann, Viewed your recent message of the Swiss Kron family. Andareas Geb (Geb means born in) Chhur (Chur is the correct spelling) Chur is located in the Canton (Canton is similiar to our counties) of Craubenden, Schwiez (correct spelling is Graübunden) located in the SE section of Switzerland (Schwiez is European spelling) The Kron family were citizens of Chur and emigrated to Morgan County along with many other Swiss families within the Chur, Graübunden area in the 1840-1850's. Andreas Kron is outlined in my book that I am now in the process of compeletion, sorry the article is on another hard drive, otherwise would forward the article . If memory servers me correctly I have at one time forwarded this article to someone on the Morgan County Link. Also, found the Kron tombstone inscription in Wartburg Cementery and have a photo in my files, somewhere...

The Wartburg Cemetery is one we are currently working on taking pictures, if the wording is visible or at least able to be "traced" when we get back since these are older graves, the pictures will be posted shortly. I have 300 pics of the Wartburg Cemetery that I am currently working on resizing and getting ready to upload, but Kron I dont believe is in any of them, but check the website as we get it updated for pictures of the gravestones if you'd like. The web address is www.geocities.com/morgancountycemeteries Good luck!!

Cathy Do you by any chance have any information on the KRON family from Morgan county. They were there in 1850 and came from Switzerland. But other than that is all I know.
