Dear Kati,

Yesterday I received from Paul Schmidt in Germany his new book about Batsch-Brestowatz entitled, Licht und Schatten, or "Light and Shade." It is not a Familienbuch, but has 75 pages of genealogical listings in the back. There are about 2 pages of Krebs and 10 or 11 Geigers. I'll scan them and send them to you as soon as I can.

We're leaving soon on an overnight trip to visit a family member in hospice and I expect to get back very late tomorrow night, so I'll not get to it this weekend (sorry). You may want to consider purchasing this book, although it is entirely in German (do you speak??)

There is an entry for Michael Krebs, who I'm sure is not yours, as he died at Gakowa:
KREBS, Michael *16.11.883 +10.02.946 Gakowo
H 19.06.906 ERNST Magdalena *16.09.887 + 03.02.946 Gakowo

This one may be yours:
KREBS, Michael *24.10.907 +986
H 14.11.929 BACHERT Magdalena *16.05.913
Ki: Josef *18.09.930 - Julianna *10.10.935

The wife of the Anton listed below doesn't correspond to the wife's given name on the listing Dennis found, but close: Theresia BERNHARDT, rather than Elizabeth, and the dates are not correct to for either of these two Michaels to be son of this Anton -- perhaps he is a cousin??
KREBS, Anton *06.06.909 +999
H 12.04.932 BERNHARDT, Theresia *19.07.914
Ki: Veronika *20.07.933

Perhaps between my resources and Dennis' we can help you sort out the connections, but in the meantime, you might try SEARCHing Mary Ann Fischer's pages -- nearly anyone with any connection to Brestowatz is listed -- she's always adding names, so if you don't find yours here, you may want to add some branches to her Brestowatz tree:

I have to be going now, welcome to the DVHH group Kati -- we're very pleased to have you among our group.

Best to you,

Nancy
