Hello Vicki-
I have some info on this Haack family, although I'm
not descended from them. My great-grandfather,
John Krei, of Wayne, NE, married a woman named
Wilhelmine (Minnie or Minna) Haack in Howard,
South Dakota in 1898. She was his second wife.
His brother, Fred Krei, had married a woman
named Anna Haack in Clayton County, IA in 1874.
I believe Minnie and Anna were related, but not
sisters (as there is conflicting info on
parentage of those two.) Last year I traveled
up to Howard to do some research and talked
to some Haacks/Haaks that live there. One of
them gave me a handwritten history of this
family, from Germany to Middleton to Howard.
I have just a little about Carl but more
about his brothers William, Joe, and their sisters.
This was supposedly copied from the Centennial
History book of Middleton, WI 1848-1948. If you'd
like a copy of this let me know. We're trying
to find more on these Haacks as well. I would be
interested in corresponding with you. You can
respond here or directly to me at:
coxsteven@usa.net I'll be gone for a week or so but will get back to you.
