I have been trying to find more information on my g.g Henry Schilb ( sept-25-1820--March 15, 1875) and his sister Catharine Schilb( feb.15, 1824- 1891) who married George Rohrbacher. The Schilb children came to the United States in 1836 and the family settled in Ohio. Catharine is buried Moulton township, Ohio at a cemetery called Greenlawn. In the 1880 census Henry states he is from Bavaria, but Catharine says she came from Alsace-Lorain. If someone knows of a Historical society in auglaize county Ohio that I could contact? Henry left Ohio and came to Iowa by 1850 and stayed there till his death. I found this information in an letter written in 1977 by Jay Rohrbacher from Lima Ohio. He died in 1978. In his letter he was looking for the family coming from Werschberg. Any information would be appreciated. Billie

Billie, You could try three books at your library: "The Source," and "The Redbook," and "The Handy Book for Genealogists." At least one of them (I forget which one) should contain addresses for all courthouses in the US> Good luck, Beth STEINBERG ARNOTT ----- Original Message ----- From: "billie pollard" <bpollard@greenhills.net> To: <BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 9:46 PM Subject: [BAVARIA] Schilb--Rohrbacher Moulton, Ohio > I have been trying to find more information on my g.g Henry Schilb ( sept-25-1820--March 15, 1875) and his sister Catharine Schilb( feb.15, 1824- 1891) who married George Rohrbacher.

Hi Billie, The 1860 Census has the same info on the ROHRBACHR's re: birthplace. (Plus 8 kids). In 1870, they both report being from Bavaria, and have 11 kids. In the 1880 Census on www.familysearch.org , Catherine is living with all seven sons; daughters are not living there. However, the birthplace for Catherine is given as Prussia. In the column for birthplace of father and mother, Prussia is given for all the sons. So, I guess it was somewhere in Germany! I did notice some other ROHRBACHER's as being from Alsace-Loraine, so maybe that would be a good place to start. Doesn't it drive you nuts? I have a gr-grandfather who was born in VA, NC, or IL, depending on the source!

Billie I live just about 10 Miles from Moulton. Most of the major Auglaize Co. communities have historical societies but they don't all have a lot of genealogy information. Moulton is very small so information would possibly be located in Wapakoneta or St. Marys. The libraries in both of these communities have genealogy sections and as Moulton is about halfway between you might want to check with their library staff to see if anything would be available there. Here is the address for the county genealogical society. AUGLAIZE COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY POST OFFICE BOX 2021 WAPAKONETA, OHIO 45895-0521 This is their web page address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohauglai/genweb/ If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know.
