Surnames: crabbe verovich hoerger
hello, i was wondering if someone could possibly help me.

i was told by my grandmother years ago that i was related to Buster Crabbe the actor somehow, her name was Dorothy Virginia Verovich - her maiden name was Hoerger - i do not know much more than that as far as her parents or siblings names, but the family was from Ohio and Virginia if that helps.

Thank you

Her death record listed her mother's maiden name as Crabb.

She was born in 1924 in Cuyahoga, Ohio. Her birth record states "additional information: John" which suggests that is her dad's name (you should order the whole record to be sure - state file number 192044287). This is most likely her and her family in the 1930 census for Cuyahoga, Ohio:
--JOHN H. HOERGER, head, b. about 1890 Indiana to parents born in Kentucky (father) and Indiana (mother). Occupation: crane operator for a building supply company
--GRACE HOERGER, wife, b. about 1886 Indiana to parents also born in Indiana
--VIRGINIA HOERGER, daughter, b. about 1925 Ohio
--GERTRUDE HOERGER, daughter, b. about 1915 Ohio
--JOSEPHINE HOERGER, daughter, b. about 1916 Indiana
--ELIZABETH HOERGER, daughter, b. about 1923 Ohio

According to her death certificate, Grace was born about 1886 and died as a widow in Marymount Hospital, Garfield Heights, Cuyahoga, Ohio on July 15, 1967 (you can order her death certificate; it might list her parents)

This appears to be John in the 1900 census with his family:
--SAMUEL C. HOERGER, head, b. March 1863 in KY to parents born in Germany, married 1882
--LOUISA HOERGER, wife, b. April 1864 in Indiana to parents born in Germany
--JOHN H. HOERGER, son, b. Dec. 1889 in Indiana
--CHRISTOPHER HOERGER, son, b. Nov. 1882 Indiana
--FLORENCE HOERGER, daughter, b. April 1885 Indiana
--HAMPTON S. HOERGER, son, b. May 1892 Indiana

Not seeing a direct connection to Buster (real name: Clarence)
