It would be great if you could share any family photos, especially from the early days. Also do you know of any information about the home in Caroline AB? Do you know of any other Krause relatives from Calgary or any immigration information. When did they come over from Germany/Prussia? I remember him coming to the burial of Jeanette in Calgary but he stood apart from us up on the hill. I also remember that his Grandmother lived in the small house on the property in Calgary. Alfred never kept in touch with us after his sister's death. We are sorry that you and your family have lost both parents.
