Hi I can't help you on the Kriz side except that I found an article online just a few days ago that might interst you.
www.stltoday.com "Toast to the last man stirs a spirited gathering". I presume if you live with your granparents you may already have this! I actually found it while searching for more info on my grandmother Aube Espenschied, I think she was your grandmothers aunt. Do you know if her father was Clyde Charles Espenschied? OMG I have been trying to find more info on the Espenschied. I just figure your grandmother was probably named after my grandmother. She died when my dad was a young boy. My Aube was married to Thomas C. Ferrenbach. If you have any interest I can try to help if I can. I do have a couple pictures of my grandmother Aube. If you can't find that article let me know & I will e-mail a copy to you. I would be happy to exchange info with you.
