Hi; I have a Frederick Graeber married toBarbara Weber in my line. The Fred I have was b 9/25/1849 in Lee County, Iowa. His parents are George Heinrich Gräber and Maria Eva Kleiber. They came to America in 1846 and lived in the area of Franklin and Donnallson, Iowa. I do have info on the family line back to about 1660 but nothing on the children of Fred and Barbara Weber. If you contact the Donnallson Public Libary, Donnallson, Iowa they proably have the info you may want. I can also send you what I have if you would like. George Heinrick Graeber is the brother of my ggrandfather George Frederick Graeber.

I have a sampler made by Juliann Josephine Graver. It was made in 1817.
She was born in 1805 and died in 1892. She married Samuel Eberly in 1829 in Reading PA ( her name was listed as Julian Graber) and they had one daughter, Appolonia. By 1840 she was married to George Reichard (Reichert). She had no other children. She died in Pottsville PA.
I want to know where she was born and who her parents were.
Her daughter Appolonia is my gg grandmother.

Peter Graber, born abt 1830, wives Freni&Susanna, lived Turner, Dakota Territory in 1874-1880s

margerice1 — 2009-08-14 03:53:44Z

I have a copy of “The Children’s Blizzard”, by David Laskin, which I would like to get back in the hands of descendants of one of the families mentioned. The hardcover book, published in 2004, tells of the tragedy of January 13, 1888 in which over a hundred children died in a monstrous blizzard in the Dakota territory. Among the families described is that of Peter Graber, whose children are listed in the book as Joseph (b. abt 1857), Anna (b. abt 1862), Frenzi (b. abt 1864), Peter (b. abt 1871), Johann (b. abt 1873).

In the 1880 census for Turner, Dakota Territory, are listed father Peter (50), 2nd wife Susana (28), children Jacob (19), Frenzis (15), Elisabeth (14), Mary (11), Peter (10), John (7), and Andreas (4), Christian (2) and Jonath (8 mo.). There is a great deal of information about this Graber family, and the two Graber children (Peter and John) who died in the blizzard. Please email me at margerice@prodigy.net.

To Gloria Graber Taber.

I am one of four boys who are the grandsons of Abel Graber, the youngest of the family you mention in your post from 1/23/05. Joseph and Josephine's daughter Margeurite dictated a story of the family from their lives during the war in their native country and their trip and settlement here in the Willamette Valley in Salem, Oregon. The only identifier of the ship that I can find is that it was German. I have many pics including the Graber cemetery in France. It would be great to visit with you on this.

Hi- Would your Johannes Graber be married to Rachel Miller with children named Henry, Samuel, Catherine and Edwin? If so, the only dates I am sure of would be Henry b. 1816. I would be excited to know we are searching the same family.

I sort of hit a dead end, and have not done much in this line for a while. I have documented to my satisfaction the marraige of Henry Craver to Abigail Stroup. I am fairly certain that Henry's parents were John Craver and Rachel Miller. I would be glad to locate my "documentation" and send it to you if it would be of any help in your research.

Re: Graber family from Rubenach, Germany

2006-11-13 23:27:39Z

Sorry -- I do not see a Jacob Weimar in my database currently. But then I really didn't have much for information on the Weimar side from Rubenach. My John Weimar, b. 1811, was the son of Andreas and Aplonia Bretz Weimar and I only have two other children for them besides John -- Apolonia b. 1820 and Anna b. 1821. Andreas Weimar was the son of Bartholomus Weimar and Anna Gertrudis ?. Bartholomus was from someplace called Nortershausen or Nentershausen in Germany.

I am researching my Graber ancestry which I trace back to Cholo in Grodno and Volhynia. The family seems to have moved back and forth between. They may have come through Poland or France before there. If you have similar Graber ancestry please contact me (graberschr@aol.com). My Grabers came to the USA in the early 1900s and settled in Washington and Michigan. My grandfather said he had aunts and uncles that moved to South America.

Re: Andreas Graber ancestors, verification

mlcm1 — 2007-03-24 17:12:09Z

Hi Lynda.
A lot of people would like to know more about Andreas and Gertraut. I don't think anybody knows anything yet.
I don't think Gertraut is the mother of Andreas oldest two sons. She is listed as the Widow Muss and had two daughters. If you do a time line for those girls and the two oldest Graber boys they can't be blood brothers and sisters. She is the mother of the third son, Philip.

I am descended from Andreas, Andrew and Anna Maria Bitting, and then Ludwig and Elisabeth Yoder.

I tried to contact you off the Board but the message came back. A few of us are really trying hard to locate Andreas but not having much luck so far.

At this point I am looking for source information to confirm or determine who were the parents of Andreas Graber/Graver who was married to Gertrant. I know that many of you have been doing this research for far longer than I have, and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
