My German goes back to high school in the 70's but this site may be of interest to some of you. As best as I can figure out it is put together by a Martina in Germany who knows Alison's family and actually may be a relative. Maybe one of you out there can translate the site and let us know. I think it says that Alison's grandfather immigrated to the US in 1951. You will see some photographs you have never seen before in the "Fotos" section including some backstage photos while they were in England last fall. Also pictures of Martina with Viktor when he was touring Europe. Also a couple of pictures with Alison's Parents in Nashville when Martina was visiting there. Total conjecture on my part, but as far as I know Alison's parents live in Illinois, so it could be that the pictures in Nashille are at Alison's house or Viktor's or ANYONES so I'm not sure why I even said that. Anyway maybe one of our Euopean members can tell us more. Check it out at: www.alisonkrauss.de/ |

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the site! I only speak English and am in French right now (and I'm not to good with it I might add), so I didn't really understand it too well. BUT, I went to google to find a site where I could translate it. This is what it said about the relationship between Martina and the Krauss':
"In the year 1951 Alison's grandparents from Germany decided to emigrate to America. Up to the today's day keep I as German relatives close contact to the family Krauss."
Most everything else it said was pretty general (where Alison and Viktor grew up, record sales, etc.). Thanks again for the site, zdje! Awesome pics.

I thought that they could easily be relatives as they have very similar facial features. But take a look at Alison's mother, Louise, at the end. She looks just like Alison. I wonder if Alison knows German. I'm sure her grandparents would speak it all the time so I would gues she and Viktor can speak some.

Hey~
I was just thinking about it and she probably got the photos from the same website that posted the picture with caption that read "Alison and her husband", but anyways for the life of my I cannot think of the website right now. It posts pictures from all of the happening events. I know someone out there knows what website I am talking about. Please help me out and ease my mind or I am going to be up all night thinking about it.
