Robert,

I trust you're for sure aware that there are quite a number of public
family trees on Ancestry which contain this couple:

Johann Jacob Brox, born on May 18, 1826 in Dilsberg, Rhein-Neckar-Kreis,
Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany (Parents: Johann Christoph Brox and
Katharina Barbara Zapf) and
Catherine/Katharina Ziegler, born on June 10, 1826 in Epfenbach,
Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany

as well as their descendants, right?

The family name "Brox" is still present in Dilsberg - in case you may
also be looking for relatives/cousins in Germany.

The database "Auswanderung aus Sued-West Deutschland" (Emigration from
south-west Germany) contains the following entries:

Johann Philipp Brox
Place of origin: Dilsberg
Occupation: soldier
Note: son of Christoph Brox
Year of emigration: 1855
Destination: North America

Christoph Brox
Place of origin: Dilsberg
Note: emigrated together with his family
Year of emigration: 1855
Destination: North America



Best regards,
Vera Nagel, Germany

REPLY:
Thanks for the quick response. I'm sharing your posts with my Brox
relatives
and friends over in Canada. Thanks to Elizabeth and Ursula, we're
getting
close.

>From my copy of the BROX family records: Johann Jakob Brox was born May
18,
1826/27 in Dilsberg, Germany (Bavaria). Katherina Ziegler was born June
10,
1826 (birthplace unknown). My records say they married September 19,
1849 in
Buffalo, NY. This couple settled in Elmira, Ontario (near Kitchener).
They
were Mennonites. Katherina Ziegler died January 13, 1897 in Elmira.
Johann
Jakob died May 16, 1900 in Elmira. I have two vintage photos of them.
Both
are labeled "Johann Jakob and Katharina (Ziegler) Brox." I appreciate
all
you can do to add to this.
