I enjoyed visting your website!! I'm very new to online geneology but I have been working on our family history for about 4 years. My husband's grandfather and greatgrand parents are Kramers from Fredericksberg. My goals is to find out more about the K amer side of the family. I never knew until I started this research that my children have such a rich German heritage. I will be joing the Fredericksburg Genealogical Society. I'm sure that will help my search. Thank for providing the information. Sincerely, Susan Zamora
