I am looking for information on the ancestry of my great aunt, SOPHIA HAAB. I know she married Francis Alonzo Carlton and lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, and had two sons, Frank and Spencer. She died in 1936. She may have been married before to a Kelly.

Sally:

A couple of thoughts (probably wild-goose chases.)

The name Sophia Haab is vaguely familiar. (I'm a Haab on my mother's side.) Her branch of the family is from Washtenaw county, Michigan (Ann Arbor Manchester) if that helps. (Would Sophia have had a father/grandfather named Johan? A brother/uncle named Albert?)

Also, the medical school at Creighton University in Nebraska did a very involved study of the Haab family 20+ years ago. It traced Haabs all the way back to the 1500s and Switzerland. (They were searching, I think successfully, for a genetic link to colon cancer. They came in the summer of '75 or '76 seeking blood skin samples from as many of us as they could round up.)(I was away working at a summer camp and unavailable.) Perhaps that's a place to look.
My mother had a copy of their research; she passed away last year, and I'm not sure if/when I could find that copy. If I do I'll let you know.)

Don't know if you're still pursuing your New Orleans Haab line or not. I stumbled across this Haab reference:

Louise (Bim) CASSANOVA was born 1/29/1907 in New Orleans, LA, and died 11/11/1989 in New Orleans, LA. She married John HAAB. He was born 3/5/1908 in New Orleans, LA, and died 7/1956 in New Orleans, LA.
