Thank you,

My wife's grandfather was named Michael and was born in Austria Hungary about 1882. My wife's father was Andrew born in 1918. Andrew had brothers Michael, John, Paul and sisters Anna Golabieski, Mary and Margaret. All born in Tower City, PA. Another unknown brother was left East Europe when Andrew's mom and dad came to the U.S.

If any of this rings a bell, I'd appreciate any information.

thanks

Andrew Zerbe

cf14 — 2009-09-10 14:21:56Z

New to this but just starting to look into my wife's family history. Her dad was Andrew J. Zerbe born in 1918 in Tower City, PA. I think he had a brother Joseph and a sister Anna as well as at least one brother still in Eastern Europe. He joined the army in the 1930's and served in the Pacific. Ended up in the Air Force and retired in Montgomery, Al. where he died in 1962.

Up to now the only thing I have found is the social security death index entry. Has anyone come across Mr. Zerbe?

Ted,
Do you have a copy of the death certificate of Frank L. ZERBE, 1901? I found it in Buchanan, Berrien, MI. Did John B. Zerbe's wife, Marie SMITH, die in MI shortly after they moved there in 1878? I have many Zerbes from Stark Co, OH, but don't know if any went to MI. There very likely is a connection.

Reading / Research for ZERBE:
1 - The Blue Book of Schuylkill County Geneological Records, by Mrs. Ella Zerby Elliott, Pottsville, PA, 1916 [much info is undocumented]

2 - J.L. Floyd & Company Bio-Annals of Northumberland County, PA, 1911 [much info is undocumented]

3 - Malta - Vera Cruz Pennsylvania, Celebrating 150 Years, 1850-2000 [August 19, 2000 Celebration Day...this is a collection of historical information from that area gathered, printed and presented for that particular occasion.]

Re: Seeking William Zerbe - 208th Pennsylvania, Civil War

nitabatz — 2009-06-29 19:58:31Z

Philip died of a gunshot wound to the head--one account states that he was shot by a sniper while he filled his canteen. On May 19, 1865, near Alexandria, VA, Capt. J.W.Hoffman, 3rd Div.., 9th AC responds to a letter from Mary dated May 17, 1865 saying that Philip died like a true soldier, at his post and facing the fire.

Philip's exact date and place of death are not known...nor is his burial place. It is known that he died during one of the battles of Petersburg and was buried with many other soldiers in unmarked graves....their fellow soldiers in retreat, and unable to retrieve the dead and wounded.

Seeking Nellie Zerbe married Walt Demmick

tinasewsandembroiders — 2009-06-28 20:14:33Z

I'm seeking Nellie Zerbe at her sister's funeral(Gertrude Reese) her name in the obit was Nell Demmick and was living in Buffalo,NY. Another obit had her as Mrs. Walt Demmick. A cousin of mine said that she was an opera singer during the deperission era. But I can not seem to find anything on her after 1920 census.

Just out of curiosity I looked in the 1900 census for your Celeveland Zerbe I found him living in Pine Grove Twp. (east & south R.R.) but what amazed me was the family that lived beside them was a Jonathan and Mary A. Heberling...is this the same family?

I was just looking at Mark Zerbe's family history on Roots web. I noticed that for Peter Adams and wife Ann Mary Zerbee there is a note regarding a photo as a reference. Listed as title 192, author Pat Crooks. As Peter and Anna are my gr. gr grandparents, I would like to get a copy if it is possible. Does anyone know if that would be possible?
