Peggy - Just saw your post from March - Marie Erfurth you mentioned is Frank and Anna (Volpot) Roubals daughter, my Great Aunt. I did find at one time in a platt book the location of the farm by Crown Point Indiana that they settled on after living in Chicago and prior to moving to North Judson. I found it interesting that it was listed only in her maiden name, which made me wonder if someone in her family bought it for her or it was willed to her. My Grandfather, Frank Roubal Jr was born in Chicago in 1892. His brother James and sister Marie where born in Europe. Marie never moved to North Judson, she stayed in the Crown Point area and her family was in the Merriville Indiana area, she had a son Carl. My Grandfather never talked about his parents, in fact I did not know he had a brother till just before he died. His brother James did around the turn of century, I can not find out from what, and always wondered if that was the reason for moving to North Judson. Anna, Frank, and their son James are buried in Crown Point Indiana. Somewhere I have a picture. probably from late 30s early 40s of a lady in Kansas and I remember the name Volpot on the back, she is probably around 60 to 70 years of age. The farmhouse in North Judson burned in the early 40s and I have no pictures or documents from that side of the family prior. You can contact me either through Ancestry or at
