Did you know that this is the 15th anniversary for Facebook<\/span><\/a>? What a useful tool, having come out of such a humble beginning. I don\u2019t know how else I could keep up with the thoughts and activities of family around the country. Many of our relatives have private individual<\/i> Facebook pages that will probably require membership and a \u201cFriend\u201d request, if you\u2019re interested, but here we are concentrating only on what we consider the very best public<\/i> community<\/i> spaces as a more contemporary compliment to our family history. Please take a moment to view the beautiful pictures and listen in on the interesting conversations at these sites:\u00a0 local organizations and activities, churches, schools, libraries, museums, and societies. Don\u2019t forget to click on the links<\/i> inside each Facebook page.\u00a0 Think of this information as the answer to the question genealogists might logically ask about their subjects\u2019 communities: \u201cWhere are they and what are they doing\u00a0 now?\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>As this section is ever-expanding, do send me new discoveries via the comment block below. Also, I have arbitrarily categorized the links by location and subject matter and have made some contextual comments for your interest. This arrangement may change, so check back.
\nThanks,

ACCIDENT<\/strong> – Our Krause family saga began in America near this tiny Western Maryland town with an unusual name.<\/a>\u00a0The Carl Krause<\/a> farm was just north, in a nook between the hills called the “Cove.” German was spoken there then by those Lutherans, and still is a few miles farther north over the Mason-Dixon Line in Somerset County, PA’s, Amish country. It was there that Carl’s son Charles found and married a “Plain” girl named Annie Lee<\/a>. Ironically, her mother Laura Speicher<\/a> had been a Brethren, living not far from the Krauses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
