Jacobus (James) Vanrysselberghe (abt 1792-1838) of East Flanders (Belgium today) and Julia Ann Howard (1810-1888) are almost certainly the ancestors of all the Russelburgs, Van Russelburgs, with many variations in spelling, etc. who have roots in Kentucky. Around Ghent, Belgium today it is Vanrysselberghe. In the 1900 U.S. Census for Daviess County, Dist 28, Owensbor Ward 4 is: Van Russelberg, C. E.-- born Sep 1833 New York, Fath b. NY, Mothr b. NY, Widower Van Russelburg, F. A.-- b. Oct 1860, NY, Fath b. NY, Moth. b. NY, Postmaster Anyone out there have any info on these two? Who was Owensboro postmaster in 1900? Thanx, Tony Howard
