Families from Brown Co., MN

by

Arnold E. Krause

 

I have in my possession many old photos from an area that my grandparents lived and would very much like to find what families they are connected to. When I first started this project, most of the photos were completely unknown but as time passes, people contact me and we find a connection. Those photos with a connection show the name of the family and where it fits into the line of family histories.

The following email was received from Liz Randolph, 18 Oct. 2008:
The woman in Photo 106 is Leona (Bold) Hamilton and her husband William Hamilton her mother was Lydia (Krause) Bold whose father was August Krause whose father was Christian Krause. My great-grandfather Frank Krause was Lydia's brother. The photo is a wedding picture taken in New Ulm, MN.

Wedding photo of Leona Bold and William Henry Hamilton, 1 Jan 1926.

Since this photo was in some of the old photos from my grandparents home, it may be possible that other photos are also associated with families from this line. My grandmother was born in Sleepy Eye, Brown Co., MN and these families appear to have been friends and associates of the August Zielke family that live in the area.
To view some of the unknown photos that have been obtained from my grandparents go to the following link and select Group 1, 2, or 4 for possible findings.
Unknown Photos from Krause, Zielke, and other families from MN, WI, etc.
If you find any photos that you recognize then please contact me so that the information can be added to the description. The email address shown below is set up so that you can change the Subject line to include the Photo #.

Thanks very much. AEK

Lets keep this project growing!!
