It was no problem. I look at it this way, you never know what doing a search for someone else might lead you to in your own research! After a quick scan of the 1860 Union TWP, Brown co., OH census, I came up empty on Straubs or anything remotely resembling the Straub name. They could still be there somewhere and I just missed them though.
