Hi Guys, I am still looking for parents and siblings of my John Straub (don't know middle initial or name) who was supposedly born in Bavaria, Germany. My cousin told me he was told by our grandfather that gggrandfather John was a sea captain from the Netherlands and we are Dutch. My John and wife, Wilhelmina Schroeder Straub, are in St. Bernard (Cincinnati) Hamilton Co, OH by 1858 when their first child (my ggrandfather was born) and they had four more children and raised them in St. Bernard. They belonged to Wilson Memorial Presbyterian Church (I wish someone would transcribe Wilson Memorial's records and put them online) and they are all buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. Am also looking for parents and siblings of Wilhelmina Scroeder Straub. I often wonder if they were in PA before coming to OH. John was born 1829 in Germany and died 1889 in St. Bernard. My daughter scanned some Straub photos for me that I can send as email attachments if anyone is interested. By process of elimination, I have picked out photos that I believe are John and Wilhelmina. There is a photo of my ggrandfather, John William Straub and ggrandmother, Katie Marie Schwartz Straub, with several other people around a tattered looking sailboat, dry docked, named "Fairy". All the people look sad and I am wondering what the occasion is. No date on the photo. Another photo is a group of men, including my g uncle, Edward C. Straub, in front of Wilson Memorial. Taken before 1919. Another group photo is of the Erkenbrecher Starch Works and the employees - don't have a date. Also a group photo of men in uniform belonging to the Republican Club of St. Bernard with their famous cannon "Lady Garfield" - don't have a date. My ggrandfather, John William Straub is in this one, but don't know any of the others. I would be glad to email these to anyone interested. Have a good day! Janine in Chattanooga
