Matthew, I forgot one important clue... (John) George STROUP Sr.'s son, (John) George STROUP Jr., named a son, Gordon STROUP. This brings us back to Washington Twp., Union [now Snyder] Co., PA, because that 's where there was a Jacob STRAUB married to a Hannah GORDON, which is where, if I recall, your quest originally began. Diana

Good sleuthing, Matthew. I hadn't seen the match. The George STROUP in the 1840 census of Middlecreek Twp., Union [now Snyder] Co., PA, is an exact match to (John) George STROUP Sr. & Lydia __?__ in the 1850 census of Centre Co., PA. All the genders and ages fit perfectly with both the parents and the children I have (all born in PA): (John) George Sr., b. 1800 Lydia, b. 1802 1. L.D. [male], b. 1827/8 2. William, b. 1828 3. Susanna/Susan, b. 1828/9 4. (John) George Jr., b. 1830/1 5. Levi A., b. Oct 1833 6. Henry, b. 1834/5 7. Edward, b. 1837 8. Lydia, b. 14 Sep 1840 9. Amelia, b. 3 Apr 1842 The 1840 data are also consistent with the data of George STROUP in the 1830 census of Freeburg, Union [now Snyder] Co., PA. These data, including the proximity of Union and Centre Cos., while entirely circumstantial, are -- in my opinion -- sufficiently compelling to make the connection, which immediately suggests we look to find (John) George Sr.'s parents in the 1820 census of Union [now Snyder] Co. A perusal of the 1820 census records of that part of Union Co. that later became Snyder Co. shows eight STRAUB/STROUB families. Of these, only two have a male the right age to be (John) George Sr.: a John STRAUB, about whom we (or, at least, I) know nothing, and a George Peter STRAUB, about whom we know a great deal, including the fact that he had a son, George, born 26 Nov 1800. I have nothing on George, s/o George Peter -- does anyone have anything on him? As to proving any of this, well... I've done all I can with the census data. It's going to be a matter of delving deeper into the court records of both counties. Your message implies you have other sources. Where do you find "Elizabeth" as an alternate name for wife, Lydia? Or do you think, as I have suspected, that (John) George Sr. had two wives? Diana The Friend Family wrote: > > Diana: > > Let me run this by you.

Below is an email that I got from my cousin John Chillings on this line he and I came to the same conclusion that we figure that "Lydia" was Lydia Elizabeth or Elizabeth Lydia considering the way our German ancestors had dealt with naming their children and move back and forth between first and middle name. So without any further ado we and calling her Lydia Elizabeth until it is proven otherwise. In the obitutary of William Straub he called his mother Elizabeth so it seems to me the only way to deal with this kind of situation. I don't know if John Chillings is on this list but it would be great to know if this is the link between my John George Straub and so forth.

Hello Judy, welcome to the list! I think you may be the first poster to the list who is working on Canadian STRAUB/STRAUBEs, so we may not be much help to you. I have created a family group sheet for Valentine & Katarina at: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/Straub/FGS/ValentinStraube-KatarinaGrzeczkowsa.htm which may help because my site does get a lot of traffic. As for Valentine's origin, the geographical history of the region Valentine is from is very complex. In a nutshell (greatly oversimplified), Prussia once included NE Germany and northern Poland as far east as the Baltics. It then expanded southward to encompass most of what is now Germany. But Germany did not become a nation, as we know it, until the 1870s, so the apparent ambiguity of Valentine's geographic origin -- as being from Prussia/Poland/Russia/Germany -- is entirely understandable. His origin is also consistent with the fact that most STRAUBEs (spelled with an E at the end) come from northern and northeastern Germany, while most STRAUBs (spelled without the E) are from southern Germany, Alsace-Lorraine, or Switzerland. In other words, Valentine's place of origin is entirely consistent with his surname ending in E. There was a huge influx of Germans into the U.S. in the mid-1800s, so the records in the U.S. are voluminous. I can only presume that Canada kept similar records. There are books and CDs and online databases that contain immigration records, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Canadian ones. Again presuming Canada is like the U.S., there will also be a record of their naturalization as Canadian citizens, probably in a court house in Waterloo Co. It may be that Valentine entered a U.S. port, then moved to Canada, so if you don't find his immigration record in Canada, you might also check U.S. records. As for records in Continental Europe, the problem is that records there are (obviously) not in English. Progess there can be very difficult unless you know the language, or rather, progess can be expensive because you will probably have to pay a professional genealogist there to help you -- unless, of course, you are lucky enough that someone else has already done the work! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good hunting, Diana STRAUB-L List Admin http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/Straub/StraubHome.htm P.S. Germans spelled Valentine without the terminal "e," so if you're searching computerized records, be sure to try both spellings. elista wrote: > > Hi Straub list. > I'm researching a line of my family tree that has my g.g.grandfather - Valentine STRAUBE, b. 14 Feb.1825 in Prussia/Russia/Poland/Germany?? possibly a place called Greiesen.

Hi Straub list. I'm researching a line of my family tree that has my g.g.grandfather - Valentine STRAUBE, b. 14 Feb.1825 in Prussia/Russia/Poland/Germany?? possibly a place called Greiesen. He married a Katarina Grzeczkowsa about 1853 and had one son (named Valerian) before they immigrated to Waterloo Co. Ontario about 1854. They had 7 more children from about 1858 - 1873 ( John, MaryAnn Elizabeth, Joseph, Valentine Jr., Katherine, Clara Rosella, and Charles Louis ) Valentine was a locksmith, tinsmith. They were Roman Catholics. They moved to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in about 1882 and ran a confectionary store there till 1903, when Valentine died. His wife moved to Vancouver, where some of her sons were living. I also have found a Francis STRAUB married to a Maria (Scherer) who also lived in Waterloo Co. He is possibly a brother to Valentine. They had many children and I have found marriage records for some of them. If anyone has any information or ties to this family, I would love to hear from you. I seem to be stumped on getting any further back. I'd love to find Valentine STRAUBE's parents names etc. from Poland. They spoke Polish but are often listed in censuses as being from Germany or Prussia, or Russia. Would there be any immigration records from about 1854, that would list where they came from? Thanking the list, in advance. Sincerely, Judy elista@telusplanet.net >From sunny Alberta, Canada.

In the 1880 census of Monterey Twp., Allegan Co., MI (p. 194D), there is a William STROUB (34, OH) with wife Caroline (33, OH), with children: Mary E. (12, MI), Ada A. (11, MI), and Anna F. (10m, MI). Does anyone know the identity of William's parents? Or Caroline's maiden name? Or where he is in the 1870 census? The birthplaces of the children indicate they were in Michigan in 1870, but I can't find them. For the full census record, see their family group sheet at: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/Straub/FGS/WilliamStroub-Caroline_.htm William is the right age to be a son of Benjamin STRAUB & Elizabeth HAAS, last of Allegan Co., MI, but no William shows up as a boy in Benjamin & Elizabeth's household in the censuses. I had thought only Benjamin and his relatives were in Allegan Co. Diana

Another possible source for you are the researchers who have submitted files to WorldConnect. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi While Charles & Mary and their parents and children are not on WorldConnect, there are some other, later ELIGs from West Virginia who are almost certainly related to them.

Hello, They are from Wheeling, W.V. in Ohio County. Doretta died in October 1964. She lived at 624 Main St. Wheeling. When Mary was married to a Straub they lived on Cherryhill Road with other family members. I do not know who they were. My Aunt did visit when she was very young.

Did you make a typo? Surely if they were having children in the 1890s, they did not arrive in NY in 1800. If you can give me the parents first names, perhaps I can find them in the 1900 Census.
