hi will get back to you ...thanx for letter...
gruber comes into ottos history &&& beck on both my mums & dads ancestry extended tree...Becks & Hochstetter family connections (in Shovel America.*& some Kansas..got address somewhere in myriads of papers of ottos world relations ..got photos of the Shovel ones & maybe others I can relay on to you ..not good with computers...& saved 5 000 photos too )..& Bremen area for some Becks , in germany now...my dads mums aunt marry a Beck in Naseby area..New Zealand & I have copies of extended nz Beck tree from this marriage...becks & hochstetter family from Donau river area...some hochstetters marry becks & went to pennsylvania or nearby ...
The Gruber lot is back a couple generations in ottos royal family or maybe sarajevo lady...it was not popular anyway with the hapsburg dynasty wanting equal marriages...but this would be an offshoot from your american connection of gruber /beck ...but of interest maybe...will write more ..going to city today...best wishes dorothy dowling
