    1. [PACARBON] Straub/Strauch genealogy
    2. Michelle LeClair
    3. Is anyone on the list researching the Straub/Strauch line of Carbon (formerly Northampton) Co.? I have a hunch and was hoping someone might be able to help. I'm a descendent of Leonard Strohl and his wife Margaretha. I have no maiden name for Margaretha but I'm wondering (and so is another researcher that I'm in contact with) if her maiden name may have be Straub. Leonard and Margaretha had a son Theobald on April 28 1809, his sponsers were Theobald and Margarete Strauch (Straub?). This baptism was in the records of St. John's Church (Towamensing) in Palmerton. Also in the records there is another Straub family of Dewalt and Margaretha. Leonard and his wife Margaretha had another son named Dewalt too. What I'm getting at is that this Theobald and Dewalt may be Margaretha's brothers, and as common practice in those days, named her children after their uncles. But this is just a guess. Does anyone have any info on this family that might help me? Thanks for your time. Michelle
