Query: I am researching my great-grandfather, Jacob C. Glass. I do not know his birthdate but I think it is around 1843 and he died September 15, 1876, in Fontana, Miami Co, KS. He was married to Esther (Heintz) Glass at the time of his death. They had three children by the name of George Edward, Charles P. and Bertha. He is buried in the Fontana Cemetery. I would like to know his birth date, his parents and any siblings that he might have had. He served in the civil war in Co. D, 29th Ohio, and enlisted in 1861 and served for the union.

Query: The only things that I know of my family history is what my father, William J. Strausbaugh, has told of his growing up in such places as Louisburg and Paola. I only know of his father's side of the family as far back as my great-great-grandfather Andrew Strausbaugh and his wife. I know nothing of my grandmother's side the Stiles'. So if you have any information on either of the two families please e-mail me.
