This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hidde, Kresse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CGC.2ACI/208.1.1 Message Board Post: Kathy, please forgive the long delay, I have just now gotten back to studying the Hidde's. I am convinced there is a connection, as there are too many coincidences, just don't know what the connection is. I understand August had a son Charles, do you have anything on him? He would be in the right generation to be my gg grandfather Charles. Also understand there was a brother Frank with a wife Pauline. We have correspondance from Frank and Pauline. And you mentioned Rudolph farmed in Blue Earth Co., which of course is where my Charles lived. Do you know what year that was? or where they were in Blue Earth Co.? I have heard someone in the New London area has done a book on the Hidde's; Any information on that? Would love to know more about this family. You may email me directly at lostrich@iowatelecom.net
