Hello,
I have recently received new information about my Krüger family, and hope that someone will see this and have some input.
My grandmother's name was Edelgard Eva Elsbeth Krüger, sister of Achim, Hermann, Segrid, Ione and Helmut Krüger. All of these children were born in Germany. My grandmother was born in Piesterwitz, but she said the family lived at least for a time in Berlin during (and the lead up to) WWII.
Their father (my great-grandfather) was Hermann Krüger, born in the year 1900 in Germany. Hermann was the youngest of all of his siblings, which there were MANY of. Hermann was married to Elsbeth Ballin. Some of the Ballin family lived in Eisleben, Germany.
Hermann's parent's (my great-great-grandparents) names were Karl Krüger and Susanne Whideck or Waldeck.
Both Karl Krüger and Susanne had been married previously to unknown named spouses. Karl had 6 children from a previous marriage. Susanne had 7 children from a previous marriage, and TOGETHER they had 7 MORE children, making 20 children in all!! (holy cow!)
The only names I have from these children are:
Hermann Krüger born 1900
Otto Krüger born before 1900
Franz Krüger born before 1900
and possibly a Fritz Krüger, also born before 1900
All of my family as far as I know were from Germany, and were NOT in the US before WWII.
