Judy, My Straub family was in Cincinnati by 1858. They came from Germany and I don't know if they lived in another state before coming to OH. They had Indianapolis relatives that I don't know anything about, but I do have a newspaper clipping about Adjutant General, Elmer Straub, of the Indiana National Guard, calling some troops together. As far as I know, my gggrandfather, John Straub, was the first of our family to come over, although his parents may have come, but I can't get any info on them other than their names, supposedly Andrew and Barbara Straub. I don't know anything about John's siblings. John married Wilhelmina Schroeder and had five children and raised them in St. Bernard (Cincinnati). They are all buried at Spring Grove Cemetery. I wish we could make a connection. I know there has to be some relatives out there somewhere. I can't find out anything about the parents and siblings of Wilhelmina Schroeder Straub either. Any help appreciated. Janine in Chattanooga
