Otto Kraft and Louisa Kraft
Just starting out to research my family tree.I can only trace my roots back to Otto Kraft born in NY City in approximately 1872.Married Louisa who apparently died at a young age and Otto basically raised his children himself.The children I know of are George (who I beleive died mysteriously at sea), Clara, Viola, John, Anna and my Grandfather Peter (b. 1899 or 1898) who married Adelaide Guertin somewhere around 1920 or so.Anyone have any info out there?Otto's family came from Germany as did Louisa's.I know that a relative out there had done research, her name, I believe, was Brenda Kraft - she died a few years ago and my mother Elizabeth Kraft Switzer is fuzzy on details.Would greatly appreciate any help I can get to point me in the right direction on my journey.Thank you.Linda Hofmann
