Robert, I trust you're for sure aware that there are quite a number of public family trees on Ancestry which contain this couple: Johann Jacob Brox, born on May 18, 1826 in Dilsberg, Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany (Parents: Johann Christoph Brox and Katharina Barbara Zapf) and Catherine/Katharina Ziegler, born on June 10, 1826 in Epfenbach, Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany as well as their descendants, right? The family name "Brox" is still present in Dilsberg - in case you may also be looking for relatives/cousins in Germany. The database "Auswanderung aus Sued-West Deutschland" (Emigration from south-west Germany) contains the following entries: Johann Philipp Brox Place of origin: Dilsberg Occupation: soldier Note: son of Christoph Brox Year of emigration: 1855 Destination: North America Christoph Brox Place of origin: Dilsberg Note: emigrated together with his family Year of emigration: 1855 Destination: North America Best regards, Vera Nagel, Germany Researcher -----Original Message----- From: germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Robert Brenner Sent: Donnerstag, 9.

I'm sharing your posts with my Brox relatives and friends over in Canada. Thanks to Elizabeth and Ursula, we're getting close. >From my copy of the BROX family records: Johann Jakob Brox was born May 18, 1826/27 in Dilsberg, Germany (Bavaria). Katherina Ziegler was born June 10, 1826 (birthplace unknown). My records say they married September 19, 1849 in Buffalo, NY. This couple settled in Elmira, Ontario (near Kitchener). They were Mennonites. Katherina Ziegler died January 13, 1897 in Elmira. Johann Jakob died May 16, 1900 in Elmira. I have two vintage photos of them. Both are labeled "Johann Jakob and Katharina (Ziegler) Brox." I appreciate all you can do to add to this. Robert Brenner (raised on Trumble Road, Columbus Twp, St. Clair, Michigan)
