Holly N.J., son of Carl Stahl STRACK/Father, Warehouseman, and Carole Ann GIBERSON/Mother, Housewife. Carl Stahl STRACK, b. 30 Nov 1938, in Camden N.J., son of William Phillip STRACK/Father, Embalmer/Undertaker, and Edna May TOY/Mother, Housewife. William Phillip STRACK, b. 22 Jun 1892 in Camden N.J.-d. 27 Nov 1954 in Gloucester N.J., son of Frank A. STRACK/Father, Shoemaker/Shoe heeler, and Emma J. AYRES/Mother, Housewife. Frank A. STRACK, b. 14 Jun 1848 in Philadelphia P.A.-d. 28 Feb 1934 in Camden N.J., son of Anthony STRACK/Father, Shoemaker/ACW Veteran, and Theresa (PICHO?, so my records look)/Mother, Housewife. Anthony STRACK, b. 1829 in the Germanic State of Baden, STRACK Father and Mother unknown at this time. I have come up with some records from my Aunt, who has this family ledger or bible, with alot of info, particularly the Strack/Ayres connections. I will write a more detailed ledger and provide it to whomever wishes it, when it is finished. It seems my GG and G Grandfathers stayed in the shoemaking business, and it stopped with my grandfather, who was an embalmer/undertaker. I hope what little I can decipher so far is of help. Danka...Carl
