Hi Donald-

I seem to have opened a real kettle of worms by checking out the Grab name.

I recently responded to Elizabeth Grab who informed me that Wilhaim Grab arrived in LA in 1823. She is posted on the message board. I have run Grab thru Ancestry.familiew.aol.com-Social Security Death Index Search and found a zillion deceased relatives, many born in New Orleans.
The records do not go back very far-late 1800's only. Hope this helps you. Keep in touch!

Don, I doubt that I can help trace your family...but what was your fathers name and when was he born? You should check the Census records for 1900 and 1910 for your father. All you need to know is where he was then and some time.

Donald,

There are several places in Germany connected to the Grab name, including Wuerttenberg, Alsteusslingen and Oberlingelheim. These seem to come up quite a bit. Have a good trip.

I'm related to the Grab family. Elisabeth Grab was my great grandmother married to James H. McGrath. She died and he remarried a woman named MInnie McDonald. My grandmother is Joanne McGrath now Proud. My whole family is from Rochester, NY. Still looking into this mystery.
