HUGE Krüger Family in Germany

HUGE Krüger Family in Germany

Surnames: Krüger, Krueger, Ballin
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.

Please feel free to contact me at vlakieste@yahoo.com if you have any information. Thank you for reading!

My husband Herbert Kruger same spelling as you are asking about, born in Germany under the same name in 1961 in KOLN was taken from his family due to his father Fred or Freddie, Freddy, unsure of the correct spelling as my keyboard doesn't have the German characters so I do apologies for this. But his Mother Christina is all that is known to us, she died in KOLN in approx 2003, but Herbert does have siblings of 5 other Brothers, named Wolfgang, working and living in Linden. Dieter, unemployed. Peter,(has Taxi Company) Manfred not sure, and also Rudi (deceased) that he knows of and believes he may also have a step sister but he is also wishing to find and know the rest of his family that was taken from him all his life, he was taken to Australia by plane in approx 1968 by a Lady called Luzie who was married to a Herbert so his real mother could not find him, he was aged 7 at the time and since then he has been hidden about his family all his life he is now aged 53 this November 2013, he is very sadden he cannot write or read his language because he was also robbed of that as well so he could not find his past family etc, and I am married to him for 20 years now under the Leber name which the adopted mother had remarried here in Australia I think, as I said he had been hidden from all his family and relatives etc. he knows no Uncle, unties and so on, Because he cannot write or read but he can speak the language very well. I try and help him find his family roots for him. His family of Brothers don't tell him anything at all. Why he does not know they hiding something I think. Anyhow he now does not have anything to do with his adopted family since Peter and Wolfgang had found him in Australia after searching also in 1998 and since then he life had been turned upside down with not able to hug his real mother before she died, his brother will not tell him much they say they want contact still but they don't try very hard and Herbert had left messages after messages on the phone and never return them.
Hope I may have given some piece to your puzzle maybe we are related if so He would really love to know his relatives as I do this for him because he has no real education himself.
We can be contact via this message.
I have included picture of Brothers born in early 1960's give or take. the picture with Me and the three Brothers all together and me 1998 taken.
Regards


Maxine Broadstock and Herbert (Kruger) Leber (adopted name)

My great grandfather was Otto Kruger born 1880 in Demmin Pom Germany. Father to him was Carl Friedrich Theodor Kruger, born 1839c and married a Dorette Sophie Wilhelmine (Simon) in 1877. She was born in 1852 C (age 25 on the 1877 register of marriages)

I have been given the following information abut the children

Meta Agnes Liesbeth Auguste Born 1878
Max Albert Emil Carl Erdmann Born 1878
Moritz Otto Walter Born 1880 - we know he lived in London before being interned as an Alien in 1917 to the Isle of Man Camp and repatriated back to Germany following the camps closure. He the wrote to his wife (who remained in England) advising her that Germany was all but starving and there was no work, thus he was traveling to america. Nothing from there on was heard from him.
Martha Emma Frieda Born 1882
Hedwig Martha Anna Born 1884
Frieda Martha Minna Born 1886
Else Minna Ida Born 1888
Ernst Karl Hermann Born 1889
