My family homesteaded land in and around Hastings, Nebr. and were one of first pioneering
Nebraska families late 1800's.
My great uncles name was Frank Zerbe aunts, Mabel, Ruth Zerbe. My great uncle married
Anna Marie Haas. They had 2 children Loren and Marlynn Zerbe. Loren Zerbe is still alive
and living on the originial homestead in Nebraska. His sister Marlynn had two children
who would be in there mid 20's at this time.
We have traced this branch of the family to St Joseph, Iowa, but have not been able to
trace our roots futher.
A complete geneology was done by Mable Zerbe in the mid to late 1940's. This
geneology book was in the possession of my grandfather Glen Zerbe. It was lost when he
died in the 1960's and was either thrown away or given to the Seven Day Adventist
church or possibly to a library in Portland, Oregon.
Would appreciate any help you can give me on this branch of the family.
