I hadn't known that about the Kruse International organization.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if there is any connection between this family I'm researching and the larger Kruse family from the area you are mentioning. I've yet to uncover the connection, but despite being across the state from one another, those two cities--Fort Wayne and Lafayette--seemed to have a connection. Perhaps it was an old mode of transportation--a rail line, or even older, a canal route.<br /><br />As I delve further into the background story for those areas, I'm sure I'll find out. It always helps add further understanding to the story of our ancestors' lives.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-74131225545172326262013-08-06T04:21:25.344-07:002013-08-06T04:21:25.344-07:00Would like to report next door too Allen Co, India...Would like to report next door too Allen Co, Indiana is DeKalb Co, Indiana.
