Comment:
For over 10 years I have wondered what happen to Emilie. I knew she was born in Germany and I knew that she came to the USA with her family, but then I could not find her in the USA. I did not know what happened to her.
Then on Oct.6,2012 I received an e-mail from Sasha Craig on Carrie Grayson's computer. Sasha is a descendant of Emilie Trefzger and Carrie is her genealogist friend who is helping explore her ancestors.
Sasha and Carrie solved the problem. The told me that Emilie married William Kleibenstein and they gave me Emilie's descendants.
Thanks:
Our sincere thanks to Sasha and Carrie for making this page possible.
