Notes on Daniel: note the name change from Klauser to Clauser. Daniel left PA, probably in 1839 with his sister Margaret. He went first to Ohio, then on to Pekin, IL.
In abt 1846 he returned to OH where he married Barbara Funk, the daughter of John G. Funk and Maria Fox.
Daniel was a farmer, grain merchant and shoemaker.
Birth places for 2-Jacob 3-mary and 3-Daniel are taken from beautiful hand painted birth certificates in German. SO we guessed translation of some things, Counties may have changed since then.
Barbara Funk Clauser moved to Pekin IL in 1847.

Is this different from what you have? I would love to see what you have. Everything I know about Barbara Funk ancestors came from a book about Bishop Henry Funk, "the Funk Family HIstory" I believe it's called.
I am unable to open GEDCOM files at this time, hope to get new software soon.
Do you know where Jacob Klauser immigrated from? I am very curious to find out about the family before they came to America.
I am also having trouble finding anything on the Robison (no N in Robison) family that Lida Nueva Clauser married into.
Any help would be much appreciated.
