Some of these are very small towns that will not show up on a standard map - even my AAA trucker's atlas doesn't show them all; if you'd like to see where they are located go to http://www.mapquest.com and click on "personalized maps". You can register free for the service, then when you get to a search screen, type in Kramer for the city and leave state and country blank; you will be shown miniature maps of the locations found and can then click on that to see more details. Additionally, I have located 9 places named or containing "Cramer" and two named "Kraemer" which I will list in the May newsletter.
