My father died when I was three, so I had no idea of his ancestors. However he was buried in the Ashland, Ky cemetery alongside my grandparents. Just across the road several other Urbans are buried. Through census records, death certificates, and contact through the internet I have learned that my greaat grandfather Karl Ludwig Urban migrated from Nassau (now a part of Germany) in 1852 at the age of sixteen along with Maria Urban, who I assume was his mother. I have obtained his death certificate, but the informant did not know the name of his parents. I do know tht his brother John Jacob Urban also migrated to Kentucky some time prior to 1850 presumably along with his father (name unknown) Jacob died in 1906 before KY had death certificates so that is a dead end. However, he did run a bar in East Greenup KY and was a fairly prominent citizen. Supposedly he owned one of the first automobiles in town. If I could find his obituary, I could learn his parents names and have my ancestry complete back to the original immigrants. I would greatly appreciate any information or advice any Greenup Countian could give me Charles L. Urban P. O, BOX 5182 Sun City Center, FL 33571
