Multiple Johann Hubers

Lawrence’s Great Grandparents – Revisited
In this post I’ll continue to reveal Lawrence Huber’s ancestry in Butschbach and surrounding areas. Two weeks ago, I identified Lawrence’s paternal great grandfather, Joseph Huber (born 1751).

In this post I’ll continue to reveal Lawrence Huber’s ancestry in Butschbach and surrounding areas.
