Raber and Anna Burley. She was born Sep 13, 1911, not sure if it was Wells Co>Co. or Huntington Co. She had 2 sisters Wilma and Alta and 1 brother Glen.

Hi I have some of the raber geneology that I got from my family. My mother was a raber before she married my Dad . Her name was Dortha Redding and her husband was Eldon l Redding sr. I live in huntington and have been e-mailing my cousin Rick Raber in Washington state. I got your name from him. I went to this web site and seen some of my relitives that I recignized from our reunion. I remember Alta and her husband coming to our reunions.I knew Wilma and her daughters too but have lost track of them . If there is any way I can help you with your geneology send me an e-mail.

Milford Ruse's parents were Amos Ruse and Mary Smith.
Amos Ruse's parents were William Ruse and Hester Shutton.
William Ruse's parents were Jesse Ruse and Mary Reveal.
Jesse Ruse's parents were Aaron Ruse and Ruth Philips.

Opal had a other sister Melba Raber she was the last on born out of the 5 children but she died as an infant.

I am doing genealogy on the raber side. I've made a book of the descendents of Joseph Raver(father of William Raber). I am a descendent of John Raber, Williams brother. When are the reunion's.

Do you know whether your Joseph Raver is the brother of William Raver/Raber, born 1797 and married to Barbary? Their families end up in Wells County, but I haven't found evidence of a connection.
