Certainly, Matthew. If anyone sees any errors on their kins' family group sheets, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm not sensitive about being corrected, and the last thing I want to do is promulgate errors.

Hi All, If any of you have Straubs/Stroup etc. in Indiana I need help. I'm trying to find the family link to the Indiana Straubs. I have a family history letter written in 1923. (we all know as Diana told me when I first started) that family letters are not always accurate. But I'd like to check it out just for the fun of it. hehehe Anyway, the letter refers to a family reunion in Indiana in 1871 where my Greatgreatuncle went to see cousins. That was when the name was changed from Stroup to Straub. It also refers to a family member in ILL. who had a music publishing company. Anyone interested you can find the letter on my site. Its very interesting reading. It also refers to Stroptown/Stroudsburg which Diana and myself have found not to be so accurate. But that can change if we can only find the parents of Andrew and Benjamin <A HREF="http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/l/Nancy-Holben-ca/index.html">MY STRAUB AND HOLMES FAMILY</A> Let me know if anyone can help. Nancy

The Surname STRAUB Every-Name Index at my web site has become too large (over 200K) for me to handle easily with my HTML editor -- and slow to download -- so I have just broken it into two indexes. (The "Other Surnames" index was divided some time ago.) If you have bookmarked that index, it will now be a dead link. The best way to always reach the indices, regardless of how I split them up, is via this hub: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Straub.htm This link is the one at the bottom of every STRAUB/&c. family group sheet. If you want to bookmark the individual indices, these are the current ones: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Straub-AtoI.htm http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Straub-JtoZ.htm http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Other-AtoI.htm http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Other-JtoZ.htm Each file is now about 100K, the size I normally consider "maximum" for a web page, so the index pages are likely to be divided again in the not too distant future. For a number of reasons, it would be much more convenient to have a single index, but as long as I -- and I presume most of my visitors -- are still going online via modem, a single index (at nearly half a meg) would be unworkable. Good hunting, Diana

Diana, Yes, James and Mary Katherine's first child was John Lawrence b. 8 Oct 1859 in Ste. Geneieve, MO, all the other children ( Sarah Emma, Thomas Dale, George Harley, Ralfah Omar, Samuel David, Eliza Jane and Charlie) were born in Odin, Marion, IL. James and Katherine were married in 1857, but I don't know where. I will check the 1860 census and see if I can find him. He was born in Blair (Huntingdon,Bedford) co. PA in 1832 and sometime he left home obviously he was in MO 25 years later, then in the next 5 years he was in IL.. I'll do some more checking. I've been to focused on trying to find Bernard's parents I haven't really tracked James.

Sorry about the message just sent. I hadn't read your complete message and discovered that it was meant for a different Donna.

Thanks for the offer of help. I know that they were in Kansas in 1864 and remained there for the rest of their lives. According to census and obituraries, Jacob was born in Germany May 16, 1849 and the second child, John, was born in Wisconsin April 13, 1855. One census record shows that both Jacob and John were born in Wisconsin, but I believe they came to Wisconsin about 1850/51. My question is where in Wisconsin. I have been unable to locate them anywhere. All suggestions appreciated. Donna

Thank you very much for the responses to my request. I now have some information to start researching an earlier generation than I had before. It is great to see how the activity on the Straub list has increased, thanks to Diana for that! Sue Steward

Checking my German dictionary... It looks like the English word baby has crept into use by Germans (as per a 1962 dictionary), just as a related German word, kindergarten, has crept into English. So it appears what we've got here is a German speaker phonetically misspelling the English word, baby. Now that's a first for me. All the thousands upon thousands of cases of English clerks phonetically misspelling German names -- it never crossed my mind to try the reverse!

Donna, Can you give some more locations? Like where they might have been in 1900 and 1880. I can try to find them in the census for you. Or do you already have those records?

I don't know if the church records of Grubb's Church have been published. The Baby idea is good, that would mean it wasn't written in German.

Jim: WOW - this is a match! Thank you so very much for this wonderful information! Let me look him up in my database and I'll get right back to you guys!

I would suspect that the parents had not decided on a name and referred to their son as "Baby" for the baptism.

Bepi?! That is a strange one. Hard to imagine how Levi got morphed into Bepi. Then again, I suppose the original records are in German script. Do you know if the Grubb's Church records have been published? Wagenseller shows some STRAUBs buried in the cemetery there, though not David or Anna Maria, unfortunately.

I think we are in luck. You asked last week about Frederick Straub/Stroup of Karthaus Township, Clearfield County. Fortunately, I believe your Frederick is one of the several Civil War pension applications that I have received (of the many Stroups I sent for). Although the information in the records is not identical to yours, see how this information fits: Here's a synopsis: Frederick Stroup, born "near Freeburg" Snyder County, 3-24-1844. Enlisted 9-18-1861 at Harrisburg, Company J, 53rd Pennsylvania Volunteers. Since his discharge, he has lived Liverpool, Perry County; Decatur Township, Mifflin County; Cataract, Karthaus Township, Clearfield County. Worked as a woodsman, cobbler. Lost 4 fingers of his left hand in a saw accident. First wife: Rebecca Jane Glace of Oriental, Juniata County (m. either 2-63 or 1-63 ... both dates listed), by Solomon Tressler. Only child listed to that marriage is George B. Mc. Stroup, b. 9-6-1866. Divorced from Rebecca 10-4-1882. second wife: Rosa L. Hohn, of Clearfield, Clearfield County, m. 10-17-1882. children of that marriage: Edward J. b. 7-8-1883; Caroline H. (Carrie H.) b. 3-30-1886; Roy Earl, b. 7-25-1891; Guy R., b. 5-11-1899; Dorothy C. b. 8-19-1901. Wow, I hope this helps you. Jim Burnell Golden CO

This is interesting, I have recorded a baptism for Bepi Straub, son of David, at Grubb's Lutheran Church, Chapman Twp. June 27, 1827 is either the birthdate or baptism date. I bet this name should be Levi.

When Andrew was baptised in 1771, a sponser was Andrew Moore. In 1770, Peter Straub and Andrew Morr and ? Rousch applied for land for a church and a school. There's more than a good chance that this is the same Andrew Moore. Assuming the census numbers are correct for 1800 and 1810, it's not that hard to connect Andrew in Penn Twp in 1800 to Andrew in Greenwood Twp in 1810. In 1810, Andrew's wife has died, he's remarried to a younger woman and his mother is living with him. The 3 oldest sons are living and working with other families, possibly new homes were found for them when their mother died. (I know ??? but it is possible) >From a deed transaction with his son Peter in 1818, Andrew's daughter, Catharina, is mentioned as being his eleventh child. We know he had a large family.
