Kreh

Occasionally I scan the Internet searching for new information about individuals in our family tree.  Last week I tried using the Ask search engine because they have been running TV ads about their new and improved search.  One of the entries of interest was an article about Karl Kreh in a series of biographies on RootsWeb.  I don't believe Karl fits into our family tree, but represents another branch that immigrated from Germany in the 1800's.  I'm posting the entry here for future reference.
