I have no evidence which identifies the father of the John STRAUB who died 13 Jan 1824. The Union County Orphans' Court Records clearly identify when he died, but there are no records of his date of birth. Elizabeth STEELEY appears to be the daughter of Lazarus STEELEY, but there are some conflicting dates for her birth. I am trying to find whether she was born in 1894 or 1895. The children of my Aunt Salome and Uncle Milton SHAFFER are:Hulda; Irene; Sadie; Madelyn; and Henry. For information on many early marriages, a book , "Central PA Marriages 1700-1896" is available for look-ups at the Snyder County Historical Society. My great-grandmother, Barbara STEFFEN and great-grandfather, Jonathan Francis STRAUB, Sr. are listed on page 67, under marriages by the Rev. G.G. Erlenmeyer. If anyone has additional information on this John STRAUB who died in Beaver Township, Union County (now Snyder), please post it. Shirley STRAUB MORTON
How do you request these lookups from the Snyder Co. Historical Society for early marriages?
