Hi William,

I think I may have found a possible connection to your Philip. I am a descendant of a George Schwab b. 1868 from Erie, PA. In tracing back his line, I found him on the 1880 census in Erie, PA living with father Jacob (B. 1833 Germany occupation shoemaker) sister Rose, and brother Joseph. I was stuck there for some time, but just recently manually searched all of the 1870 Erie PA US census (thinking the index was in error.) Sure enough, I found the Schwab family in 1870 with father Philip J. (Jacob?) (b. 1833 Germany, occupation shoemaker) and wife Regina (my George Schwab named a daughter Regina) Cahterine age 14, August age 13, Philip age 8, and presumably my George age 2. Knowing that the census dates are often incorrect for children, I wonder if this could be your Philip Schwab / Swab. Do you have any additional information about Philip's parents or siblings?

Chris
