Where did your father live as far back as you know? And who adopted him? Someone might be able to help you but not without some basic info. Your father's name was Albert Frederick Punches, or was that HIS father's name? What was your father's birth date? I have some census records that might help.

I am just beginning the research on our PUNCHES family. The family names are PUNCHES/ PONTIOUS/PONTOUS and others, I think there are five of these spellings still living in this Northwest corner of Ohio. The families, and there were several, lived in Fulton and surrounding counties. I will check my info and see if I have who you might be looking for.

I apologize for my tardiness in finding this message. Actually I never before today stopped at this message board to read all the messages.

My message regards your question. Your husband's father was one of my family's relatives. Albert Punches was born to Albert Milton Punches, in Ostego, Michigan on July 4, 1915. He was adopted by Albert Strobel. I had always wondered if he kept his Punches surname or used the Strobel surname. My data shows he had one son, Richard, who must be your husband.

Your husband's family line is thus: Peter Punches b. 1785/6; George W. Punches b. 1821, Charles William Punches b. 1854; Albert Milton Punches b. 1887; Albert "Tod" Punches b. 1915.
