Names (varied spellings)
Comparing the names of the immigrants with the names of the resettlers in 1940, one can note differences. Some names disappeared entirely, new names were added. There are several reasons for this. Over the 126 years of the existence of the German village of Krasna, several families died out. There were people moving in and some moved out. Some families simply changed the spellings of their names.
