Hi Sharon,
I've been looking for the parents and ancestors of a Johannes (John) Laubach (b. abt. 1798), who was married to Elizabeth (nee Lindeman, b. abt. 1802). In 1850 this family was living in Moore Twp., Northampton Co., PA. Their known children were:
1. Simon Laubach, b. 17 Sep 1827
2. Elizabeth Laubach, b. 20 Oct 1828
3. Franklin Laubach, b. 25 Apr 1830, d. 19 May 1906
4. Caroline Laubach, b. abt. 1830/1831
5. Catharine Laubach, b. abt. 1833.
I am a descendant of the immigrant, Johann Reinhardt Laubach (b. abt. 1667/1668, d. aft. 1738) and Anna Elizabeth. Johann Reinhardt and his son, Johann Christian and his family, settled in the Lower Saucon area of Northampton Co. The genealogy of Johann Reinhardt has been posted on RootsWeb.
I'm the Genealogist/Historian/Archivist of the Laubach Family Association (LFA). Most of the members of the LFA are descendants of Johann Reinhardt. But a large group of Laubachs in the same area are descended from the above John and Elizabeth Laubach. We are still trying to find the link, if any, between John and Johann Reinhardt.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale Berger
