A new Naber (descendant)

If you've looked around the Janson blog before, you'll remember this family tree we posted in October 2009 (so pretend you remember, mkay?) It's a Naber family tree I found in mom's stuff.  Since posting it, a couple people have found it and figured out where they fit, the latest being this week ☺
Judy figured out she's descended from great grandpa Gerhard's brother Henry (JH) there in the middle.  She knew her gg-grandmother, Anna, had a brother named Bernard (1860-1926), and that he lived all his life in Iowa.  She knew, too, that Anna married Johann Wilhelm Erdmann June 16, 1876 in Petersburg Iowa, and that they eventually moved to Texas where they stayed.  Their youngest son was Judy's grandpa.  Isn't that just neat?  
Welcome to this end of the family, Judy!

    Thanks Marlys! Since we talked last, received a copy of Henry's obit from Dyersville Historical Society. Lists 2 living brothers: Gerhard and Bernard. So it appears there may have been 4 brothers. Tried to track the family in Oldenburg, Germany but no luck yet.

    Hi again, Judy! Wow, so the prob still is "Which John, which Bernard, which JH?" etc. Looks like they were all land owners on the 1894 plat map of Bremen township. I see JG Naber, Bernard Naber, & (Section 22) Henry Naber, and Henry Naber Jr...do you have an idea who was who?? lol We've kind of given up on figuring that out. http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/cdm/ref/collection/atlases/id/1103
    Even Find a Grave doesn't shed much light http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSfn=&GSmn=&GSln=Naber&GSbyrel=all&GSby=&GSdyrel=all&GSdy=&GScntry=4&GSst=14&GScnty=0&GSgrid=&df=all&GSob=n
    Sigh! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving anyway, Judy ☺
