Hi Larry, As per email, I know you were disappointed Hannah was not in the Grayson Co, TX history book I have, but I did find when and where she is buried.With that you can obtain a copy of her death certificate, and hopefully it will give the names of her parents.
Fairview Cemetery, Denison, Grayson Co, TX:
Regensburger, Hannah, 11 Feb 1871 - 23 Jan 1953
[You specified looking for Hannah's parents, her sons Morris & William are buried there as is her daughter who married, again, Sarah Weitz.Do you want their info?]

Seems they couldn't make up their minds where Elias was born, or parents of Hannah.Do you know Hannah's maiden name?
If Hannah's death certificate doesn't give you what you need, you might see if she applied for a Soc Sec card.She would have filled out that application herself.It should show the names of her parents, her residence at the time of application and other data, too.She will not show up on the SSDI online record, as that begins with deaths about 1963, she died too early.But, you can still apply for a copy, anyway.You might give her name as Regensberger and/or Regensburger.
Brother of Elias, Henry Regensburger, is on the 1900 and 1910 census, always shows he is born in Germany.From a couple of old city directories they are listed as Regensburger Bros (Henry & Elias), U.S. Clothing Co, 209 W. Main, Denison.
Henry says on 1900 census he came to this country in 1870 is Naturalized and been here 30 years.But, I can't find Henry or Elias on the 1880 census.Most with that surname, and about their ages, are in NY or CA.Since they are brothers, one would assume Elias was also born in Germany.
If you have any questions let me know, I'll try to help.
Happy Hunting (^_^)
