Greuber Family History and Genealogy

By Douglas M. Dubrish

If you are a member of the Greuber family, this book is a must-read. It tells the story of William T. Greuber, who was born in Ohio in 1825 as part of a "frontier family." The book defines a frontier as an area containing not less than two nor more than six inhabitants to the square mile. The book traces the family's history through four generations from 1825 to 1983 in Ohio and Michigan. It also includes several ancestral photographs, documents, and references that provide a vivid picture of the family's past. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring their Greuber family roots.

Germanic Origin

According to the United States Federal Census of 1870, our earliest documented Greuber descendant, to which this book is devoted, was William T. Greuber who was born in Ohio sometime around 1825. The year of birth is extrapolated from the census record, and the location of birth was likely obtained from the primary source, which was William T. Greuber himself. It should be noted that since the census tabulation first began in 1790 family names have often been misspelled. We find this the case here, since many times Greuber has been listed as Gruber, without the e. Keep this in mind if you intend to do further research on the family name. Likewise, keep in mind that Greuber may be a misspelling of the name Gruber. Gruber is a German surname, referring to a person from a pit, mine or depression. It is the most common surname in Austria. This authors grandmothers
