My father, Vincent Woodrow Staub and his twin brother, Victor Wilson Staub (surname later changed to Lober) were born out-of-wedlock in Strasburg, Ohio on August 14, 1915. Records viewed at the Tuscarawas County Genealogical library indicate the father was Victor Lober from Toledo, Ohio. I haven't been able to get very far in tracing Victor Lober's family beyond his father, but I have some suspicion that he may actually not have been my dad's father, since I've discovered DNA connections with my other 3 grandparents, but none for the Toledo Victor Lober. Furthermore, my Ancestry.com DNA circles list a number of surnames that I don't have in my tree: Dawson, Long, Moser, Harris, Warner, Basham, and Atha. It is entirely possible that these families are tied in with the Toledo Lobers, but I've run into enough roadblocks in filling out that part of the tree that I'm stuck right now.

Another mystery surrounds my paternal grandmother's father, Samuel Staub. I found him in several sequential US census listings, but his birthplace is listed as Ohio up until 1900 and Indiana after that. I've unsuccessfully looked for birth records in both states, but have had problems taking his line back any farther, since I can't confidently say that I know his parent's names.

Any help on either of these fronts, including roadblock-busting suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.
