I am just starting to research my family. I noticed that in your 7/1/98 response to Lois Gasser you talked about a Samuel Brubaker. My deceased father told me that his great grandfather was named Samuel, was a civil war veteran, marched in parades, and died in or near Altoona, Pa.in Carson Valley in the early 1900's. My father said that Samuel had a brother named Emanuel who was killed in the Civil War possibly at Gettysburg. I'm not sure how certain my father was about Emanuel.
Samuel's son (my great grandfather),was named James according to my father. He died in either the late 1800s or early 1900s in Carson Valley,Pa.My grandfather, Earl Dewain Brubaker was born in Gallitzen, Pa in 1889. So far I have not been able to find any references to a James Brubaker in this area.
Do you have any suggestions for me on getting information on this James Brubaker? I'd appreciate any help you might give me. Thanks a lot.
