I am so excited to find that someone is related to the Laibes!! I was beginning to think I was the only one. Of course, I'm not sure if we are related to the same Laibe's as of yet, but hopefully the following information will help. Here is the Laibe line as I have it:
My grandfather is George Laibe, Sr.
B: 2 Oct 1916 Toledo, OH
D: 19 Dec 1988 Weston, OH
He had two older sisters:
Lucinda Margaret B: 27 Oct 1911 Toledo, OH
D: 21 Jul 1994 Bowling Green, OH
Mary Alice B: 26 Jul 1914 Custar, OH
D: 5 Apr 2001 Lima, OH
Their parents were
Frank E.Laibe
Julia Oster
I have census records from 1920 Milton twp., Wood, Ohio listing my grandfather George and his sister Mary as living with their aunt and uncle. They are living with this same aunt and uncle in the 1930 census of Milton twp., Wood, Ohio.
I also found a 1930 census record for a Frank E. Laibe and daughter Lucy M. living in Port Lawrence, Toledo City, Lucas, Ohio. I'm guessing that this is my grandfather's father. Just recently, I found an 1880 census record for ED 141-142, Putnam, Ohio listing the family of a Mark & Catharine Laibe. They have six children listed - Mary E., Eli, Edward, William, George & Frank. I'm trying to find out if this Laibe family is related to mine. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about my grandfather's parents (Frank & Julia). If any of this sounds familiar, or if you can help me out at all, I would be extremely grateful.
