MISSING HAAB's

JanFreeman64 — 2006-01-23 08:13:00Z

I am looking for any information on the twin daughters of Clarence Lindbergh HAAB b. 6-15-1927 in Hardin Co., TX. It is possible that they live in either California or in Lousianna. Anyone having any information concerning them please contact me.
Clarence was the son of Alfred Gottleb HAAB and Alma E. WADDEL, both from Texas.
Thanks for the help in this brick wall.

I just read this letter from you and am amazed at some of the information. Emanuel Haab is my gggrandfather. Pearl Haab is my ggrandmother and Arbelle Baker Read is my grandmother. I would LOVE any information that you can send me about the Haabs. I can find nothing. Do you know when and where he came over?
I think that we spoke by email several years ago. If there is information that I can pass on about the little that I know from this part of the line, I would be glad to share with you.
Thank you very much for posting this information.

Sally:

Don't know if you're still pursuing your New Orleans Haab line or not. I stumbled across this Haab reference:

Louise (Bim) CASSANOVA was born 1/29/1907 in New Orleans, LA, and died 11/11/1989 in New Orleans, LA. She married John HAAB. He was born 3/5/1908 in New Orleans, LA, and died 7/1956 in New Orleans, LA.

Johannes was born in Plattenhardt, Germany in 1796. Came to the United State in 1831. Settled in Freedom Twp, Washtenaw Co., Michigan. Fifteen children total, 10 of them born in the US. I'll be happy to do look-ups for anyone who asks. E-mail me at baker@giantbeagle.com

finding Haabs

David S Baker — 2001-06-25 18:30:44Z

Sally:

A couple of thoughts (probably wild-goose chases.)

The name Sophia Haab is vaguely familiar. (I'm a Haab on my mother's side.) Her branch of the family is from Washtenaw county, Michigan (Ann Arbor Manchester) if that helps. (Would Sophia have had a father/grandfather named Johan? A brother/uncle named Albert?)

Also, the medical school at Creighton University in Nebraska did a very involved study of the Haab family 20+ years ago. It traced Haabs all the way back to the 1500s and Switzerland. (They were searching, I think successfully, for a genetic link to colon cancer. They came in the summer of '75 or '76 seeking blood skin samples from as many of us as they could round up.)(I was away working at a summer camp and unavailable.) Perhaps that's a place to look.
My mother had a copy of their research; she passed away last year, and I'm not sure if/when I could find that copy. If I do I'll let you know.)

Dave, thanks for the info. All I know is she married my great uncle, Francis Alonzo Carlton, had two sons and died 9/4/36 in New Orleans, LA. I will be meeting with her grandsons soon and may find out more. If it's anything interesting, I'll let you know.

I am looking for information on the ancestry of my great aunt, SOPHIA HAAB. I know she married Francis Alonzo Carlton and lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, and had two sons, Frank and Spencer. She died in 1936. She may have been married before to a Kelly.
