  1. Jeff Rosenberger says

    Our family has quite a collection of Rosenberger (Descendants of Erasmus who resided in Strausburg, VA in the late 1700s) genealogical documentation. A number of large genealogical charts prepared by Erika Rosenberger are included. Also in the collection are books authored by Francis Coleman Rosenberger. We are looking for a permanent home for the collection as the current owners are in their late 80s. Is this something Germanna might be interested in? If not, any suggestions?

    I noticed Fishback on the website. I believe there is a Fishback cemetery at Fleetwood in Jeffersonton, Va, where Erasmus Rosenberger lived and several generations of his descendants after him.
