Hey John, Happy New Years!
Thanks for answering my plea for help with the Girl Baxter. It seems that Dallas Lawyer's work keeps hounding us.
John do you concur that Gustavus's wife was Barbara Johnston?

Dear Gus-Reeb subscribers,
If you are already subscribed to the REEB-ROOTS e-mail list please feel free to post on that list. That list needs to come back to life and I believe that together we can make it happen. There are still a lot of subscribers on that list but they have been silent for the most part for too long. I welcome you to join me in making this happen. All of us stand to learn more with better and more communication.
Please support this effort with your posts to the list.
Ron,
I truly appreciate your post and your dilemma , rather I should say our dilemma .
I am somewhat frustrated because it does exist and since you mentioned to me earlier about seeming to be too many years in between some of these ancestors I have also been giving this very question much thought. I also remember that in Hein books the write up on our Heinrich also shows at one time he lived in Zolingen. I believe they could have lived in more than one village and sometimes moved back to a vi
Dear Reeb e-mail lists subscribers:
I have volunteered to once again become the moderator/administrator of the e-mail list REEB-ROOTS and Nancy has informed me that she will agree to the change.
I also want to announce that I will change the settings of the REEB-ROOTS list so that all responses to posts will automatically go to the entire list not just the poster unless the responder changes the setting on his/her indivdual system at time he/she descides to respond to the posts. For those
Harlan,
I can just bet I will get into trouble for saying so but I do not believe any one can provide any documentation which will prove that Gustavus Rape was married to a woman named Baxter. That has been tossed around for as long as I have been doing genealogy. It has been discarded by different folk for as long as I can remember at different times as having nothing to back it up except a Dallas Lawyer years ago wrote it into one of his essays about the Rape family. This same lawyer also
Shelly it is great to hear from you and to learn about your branch of the family tree! And especially to find another cousin (a seventh cousin) living here in Colorado. I live near Lafayette and moved to Colorado about ten years ago from Minnesota.
I appreciate you listing your family tree as it helps to confirm (and correct) the information that I have in my family tree program. I was comparing your information to what I have in my family tree and I might have some errors that I would like to check with
John,
I'm back on home answering email again and I need to get caught up you. I
hope you had a great Thanksgiving and your emails and explanations to the group
have been great - well thought out. I did respond to Rose Taylor, then
realized I could not reply to the whole group. She was asking about the "earliest"
Heinrich Reeb. Here is how I responded:
"Now, about "Heinrich Reeb," there were two living in the same area at about
the same time and they are often confused:

Ron,
Just as soon as I can get over to the other side of the bay I will go to Sutro Library (my old stomping grounds) and look at the Germans to America series and photocopy that list and a couple of others. I do have the emigration list not the immigration list . I wonder if all who were named on the emigration list do appear on the same immigration list?
Since I moved to Alameda the closest FHC to me is the one at the Temple on the hills of Oakland. My son takes me there when I have film t
John,
I'm glad you brought up the emigration list at Herbitzheim from 1827 to 1837
where my ancestor, Peter Muller, was shown first on the list. On one of my
visits to the Strasbourg archives, I learned there were actually two lists. One
was for people who went to America. The other was for people who went to
Algeria during the same period. There were Mullers on the Algerian list as well!
I wonder if I have Arab cousins!?!
Peter Muller and his family sailed from Havre on the ship Benjamin Morgan
Oh definately and we have the best proof in the world that he married her. You see her grave is right beside his. However, there is a marriage record available and she was not the mother of his children. Barbara had a son named William who was able to kind of get some of Gustavus estate after Gustavus died. I do not have the genealogy computer turned on this early so can't view the record however I beleive it was 1816 or about then when Gustavus Rape married Barbara Johnston. So far, to the best of m
