Julius Jobb is my great grandfather on my mother's side. He married Annie Krenek in Lavaca Co. Tx on Nov 16, 1896. (have copy marriage certificate) My records show he and Annie had 7 children ( Mary, Frank, Joseph, Annie, Emma, Pater and Julius) Joseph married Mary Burrus around 1916 or 1917 and had three children (James, Ruth & Eugene) Ruth was my mother (died Jan 8 2002). She married Ryland Dowdy in 1950 or thereabouts and had two children (Page and Nancy) Ruth also has another daughter (Caroline) from a previous marriage. --- She always believed that Julius was born in Czechoslovokia which in 1872 was part of the Austria-Hungary Empire. We think he was born Nov 6 1872 (death certificate) and he died Dec 27, 1937. It is thought he immigrated to the US in 1876 which would make him 3 years old at the time. We do not know who he traveled with. My email is
