Sorry! I understand that my name ( Stroup ) was also at one time changed from Straub although I have never ever seen anything official to substantiate that. My Grandfather, Frederick W. Stroup was born in Union County, PA in 1844, according to his obituary column. He enlisted in the Indiana Infantry Reserve in 1861 and served until 1865, ( this I have documentation of), but absolutely no inkling of who his parents were or any Siblings that I am sure he must have had! I wish you the best of luck in your quest and if you should ever hear of any info that I might use in furthering mine, I would appreciate your passing it along to me! Regards, Francis D.
