     Freidrich married Margaretha Wolf before 1849.² He died before May 1898.^3,1
     Roger Kreutzer records the following:
It is believed he lived in Basznia Dolna, Galacia* Austria but may have originally been from the Swabia area of southern Germany.

Basznia and Reichau were located in what was known as Eastern Galicia, which was under the control of the Austrian Empire from 1772 till 1918. They are now in Poland. On a map showing settlements in this region, dating from the 18th century to 1939, the two villages appear to be side by side. An explanation of Galicia settlements shows that Reichau was established in 1783 and Basznia in the 19th century by Germans.¹

     She also went by the name of Louise according to the 2008 Kreutzer family history.²      She also went by the name of Lizzie Kreutzer in the 1911 census.³ Elizabetha Eppler immigrated in 1898 to Canada^G from Austria on the same ship as the Kreutzer and Gabel families.^1,3,2

He died on 2 November 1856 in Renfrew, Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Upper Canada, British North America^G, This death date may explain why Diane Vermaat reports that he was listed as "absent" in the 1861 census.⁶
