Subject: [Wayne Co Ind] Cambridge City questions
I am searching for the birth of my grandfather, Joseph John Arbogast,
born
November 17, 1873 or 4 supposedly in Cambridge City, IN. Parents were F. T.
or Frederick Theodor and Catherine Berst Arbogast.
I found his baptismal record in Ripley, Brown, OH, but all of his adult
documents
(draft registration, Panama Canal employment, death certificate
and many US census) list his birth place as Cambridge City, Indiana. As a
matter of fact, a birth in 1873 AD 1874 is recorded for him in Ripley,
Brown, Ohio!
The local Catholic church in Cambridge City did not have a record of his
baptism.
I am getting ready to submit my 4-generation family tree as a first step
towards my
ICAPCen accreditation. These little quirks of his birth are going
to be difficult to explain on my family tree.....
If I would want to look through old City directories to see if my
Arbogasts ever
lived in Cambridge CIty, which directories would I search? My
library did not have a directory for Cambridge City and perhaps it is
grouped in with a larger town?
Thanks, Buffy
