Dear Friends,
I research one Rüger family, that since 1630' (or maybe even earlier) lived in Baden-Württemberg.
In the "Familienregister der Stadtpfarrei Carlingen, Kirchenbucheitraege von 1533 bis 1805" there is one Peter Rüger, Soldat from Dänemark, died in Carlingen on 05.12.1631.
I have searched Rüger name at http://www.ddd.dda.dk, for different Danish amts, but have found only family name Krüger.
Whether family name Rüger could be found in XVI-XVII century Denmark? If yes, in which areas of Denmark it was common? Or it was derived from Krüger?
Regards
Michael
hej
Rüger could be short of Rüdiger or Rudeger
regards Poul
We have the family name Ryge (Rüge) maybe hat could be a person from that family. Which is a very old familyname. In family search you will find some with that name. Ryger -Rüger is not known in Denmark
Greetings
