Dear Fellow List Members, I am currently putting together a heritage album/scrapbook and am wondering if there is anyone out there who might be willing to get some photographs for me of ancestors buried there in Cameron County. Louis George Rohde, (who died August 18, 1937), is buried in Buena Vista Burial Park, Brownsville, Cameron Co. George Joseph Krausse, (who died September 21, 1888), is buried, I believe, in the Episcopalian Church Cemetery in Brownsville in Lot 16, Blk 35. (The reason I say I believe that is the cemetery is because that is the church they were members of but for some reason in my notes all I have is the lot and block numbers.) His wife, Augusta Henrietta Theresa Brock Krausse, too, is, I believe, in the Episcopalian Church Cemetery in Brownsville in Lot 22, Blk 35. (Her date of death is May 29, 1901) Minnie Therese Krausse, (who died on November 23, 1877) is buried in the Old Burying Ground, in Brownsville, Texas. Anyone who can help me out with any one or all four of these would be greatly appreciated and I will gladly reimburse any costs related to getting them. Sincerely, Tanya Kloesel Austin, Texas

Good afternoon......... would appreicate if someone could look up a marriage license for me?? Looking for Robert Kohler....... Minnie M Crofoot Marriage between 1946-1950? May have been in Brownsville. Thank you for your time & any help that you may give! Linda

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ROBB ORDEMAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GhB.2ACE/752.1.4 Message Board Post: Hi, Betsy, I am curious to know whether your father married a Virginia ROBB. I have a Virginia who was the daughter of William Clyde ROBB (or Clyde William)and Laura A. (surname unknown) in the family tree. William Clyde and Laura also had sons Gerald and Laurance (also spelled Laurence). They had their children in Oklahoma and I believe that somehow William Clyde took ill and his wife Laura had to put the boys in an orphanage when she enrolled in a business college to try to support the family. In any case, William Clyde ROBB was the son of Madison Clair ROBB and Bertha Jane SIMS (also spelled SIMMS) of Butler Co., PA. Is there any connection?
