| I am researching the roots of my Grandfather James Henry Allinger. Grandpa Allinger is not only elusive, he was sometimes evasive, particularly as it related to his place of birth and answers he gave to census workers. He was probably born in 1853 in New York state, although some of his offspring believe he came from Illinois. I do know that sometime in the late 1800's he went west to "strike it rich". Family lore suggests he was running from a family despute involving his brothers wife. Sometime about 1897 he met and "married" my grandmother Bertha Kruger in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Bertha was married and had 2 children by an unnamed miner who apparently blew himself up in a mining accident. James Henry and Bertha moved to Buena Vista Colorado in 1898 where Grandpa worked the mines and sold "antiques" (ie used furniture). Grandma raised their 11 children. If you have knowledge of James Henry Allinger's roots or the name of Bertha Kruger's first husband, please contact me... | An Allinger Family Home Page Updated July 10, 2006 |
