Many online family trees contain spurious information about August Krause's birthplace, his parentage, spouse, and siblings. This misinformation might come from Ancestry.com "hints" that people mistakenly deem to be facts. The misinterpretations are easily spread when people copy information from other family trees without reviewing what sources provide documentary evidence.

- - Do not be confused by family trees that say August Krause was the son of an elder August Friedrich Krause and Charlotte Stark. Those parents were not connected to this particular August Krause.

- - Do not be confused by family trees that say August Krause was born in Pommern, Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. That is hundreds of miles away, in a different province.

- - Do not be confused by family trees that say that August Krause was married to "Wilhelmina Schultz." His obituary and death certificate both give his wife's maiden name as Miller (German spelling: Müller or Mueller).

- - August Krause was born in Karsbaum, near in Pommern, Germany, according to his church burial record and his obituary. So, he was born in what Americans call Pomerania, Germany, but that birthplace is now renamed and is now a part of Poland. After Germany's defeat in World War II, the German–Polish border was shifted west to the Oder–Neisse line. As a result, this locality is now known as Karsibór, a village in the administrative district of Gmina Brzeżno, in Świdwin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in North-Western Poland.
