Just putting out some information and hoping that some day
someone may come across the answer to my possible relationship to the Kaiser. It was told to me by a
relative that our Grub family came from Mommenheim, and
that in 1866 his grandfather came to the U.S. as a Von
Grub. He dropped the "Von" at the time of WWI because he
was a cousin to the Kaiser. It was suggested that the
original name might have been Grubben or Grubbenhaugen.
His mother's maiden name was Ebling - so maybe the relationship came from that side of the family. And it was not said what "cousin" this was - cousin can mean so
many things other than "first cousin". I do not expect
the answer to just pop up - this will probably take much
research - but just thought I'd put it out there, just
in case someone holds a clue, etc. Thanks, Ms. Group
(As you can see the Grub name then later evolved into Group)
