Read the review by Nikolaus Horn

This new Family book contains all the Baptisms, Marriage and Death records from the church books (1771 -1991). In addition, countless records were gathered through telephone or written inquiries to individual families.

On behalf of the author, David Dreyer scoured lists of the U.S. immigration authorities and identified about 331 emigrants to America from Kreuzstätten (with date of entry into the U.S., ship passage, destination, etc.).

Also included are a chapter of the local and church history (approximately 100 pages), and 29 pages of color photos. The book covers nearly 2200 families and about 11,000 people.

This book consists of 742 pages, and is priced at 48 € plus postage. The book will be available at the end of August, 2011.
