Do you have any other information? My grandfather was born in Arkansas, but on a u.s. census in 1930, he states that his parents are from Germany. Your ancester with the Orauster name sounds German. Maybe we are connected. Please write to me at: [email protected] George Hebel Gibson is my ancestor and his brother's name was H.C. Blue Gibson. I believe his mother's maiden name was Blue. Odd. But nonetheless, it is so. I can attach a photo of him.. George was born Oct 6, 1901. Your family has dates of 1909, so if we can dig this up, we just might find a fat bone!! Good hunting. First photo is of George and Gertrude, my grandparents. Gertrude Rich was from Louisiana. Second photo is of my dad, me and my sister. Daddy was dark and my sister has his dark hair. I'm the one on the right (from your view) - the blond. My son is in the bottom picture. Football jersey #99.
