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.

I don't know which Benjamin you are trying to find. However, Benjamin B. Straub , b. 7 Jul 1848 in Union County, PA took his family to the area of Elkhart, IN about 1868. He was the Great Grandson of Peter Straub who died in 1804 and is buried in Freeburg. There is much documentation on that family line.
