To all you German Friends out there: I enjoy receiving and checking the e-mail about the Stroup family. Keep hoping for some clue about Bernard Stroup from Blair Co. PA born in 1800. I do notice that in the older census records that income is listed and it is interesting and somewhat informative about where they were socially and the kind of life they had. Just a thought.
