Hi, Chances are I can't still reach you since its been 5 years, but thought I'd try. My great Grandmother was Lulu Baab who married Frank Wiegand. My Dad still remembers Justus your great grandfather. Just thought I'd get in touch and take a chance.

Sincerely
Patricia

Oh wow! Yes, I am still around. I'd love to learn more about your branch of the family :) My Great Grandfather Justus passed away long before I was born. We don't really have anyone left in our branch that can share our history with us!

I haven't come across a James W. Baab that I know of. I'll have to double check my records, but the rest of the names are familiar...

Well hello there...I'm Pat and I live in Fayette County, IL. I'm 57 years old. My folks are both living and doing pretty well. Last time we drove over to Bunker Hill Cemetary, my Dad talked about meeting Justus and I beleive one of his sons? I'll have to get back to you on that after I talk to him. Lulu Baab and Frank Wiegand only had one daughter and that was Ruth, my Dad's mother. She had 2 sons by her first husband who died when the boys weren't very old and they fell upon pretty hard times. My Grandmother Ruth spoke some German and I remember an old German Bible she had, but that was over 30 years ago now and alot of things were burned up in a fire. There was a story she told us about her Grandmother coming over on a ship to America and how she fell overboard and they grabbed her long braid to get her back aboard the ship...lol. Would you happen to know if some of the Baab's were buried in Washington County and where? We'd like to go visit. My email is Patrcia44@yahoo.com
