Outstanding!Thanks for your help.What is your connection to this line of Straubs?I pretty much just started researching, so this helps alot.To answer your questions, Herbert's wife's name was Lorna M. Larr.Her parents were Oscar Albert "Bert" Larr and Lena Colby.His surname was originally Leirsch, but it was changed to Larr perhaps to Americanize himself?I believe he was born in Baden, Germany and then immigrated to Canada then to the US.I do not know of his parents.I know much more about Lena Colby's ancestry.For example, she descended from Anthony Colby who immigrated to Massachusetts around 1630.Herbert's son Louis is still alive and well in California.I will forward him the DNA information.I will follow these leads and let you know what I find.Thanks.
