Duhhhh. I just realized you said Edwin was born in Maryland -- not PA. I'm so fixated on Pennsylvania STRAUBs my mind is in a rut. Same suggestions hold, except that the PA census records at my site will probably not be any help to you. In a way you're lucky that Edwin was born in MD. There are far fewer STRAUBs in MD than in PA, so your search may not be as difficult. Diana Diana Gale Matthiesen wrote: > > Kris, > > Have you gotten a copy of Edwin's birth and death certificates?
