Hello,
I believe the Grewer's you wrote of are my relative. Mathias Grewer was my great grandfather. Along with the children you mention was also a daughter, Agnes, who was my father's mother. Christina's last name was Weiler. My father was very close with his grandfather, Mathias. (Matt)
Best Regards,
Agnes

I know you posted your message on an article on the Grewer family a while ago, but if it's still available, I'm interested. I just found a probable Grewer connection- Annie Grewer, prob of Glenisla Angus Scotland. She m Alexander Fenton, and was mother to Ellen or Helen Fenton, b 24 July 1832. Ellen married John Bremner in Canada. She died in Boston MA 8 December 1906. I don't have any further info on the Grewer line at this point.

Hi David, I have an Alfred Grewer, born in Driffield, County of Yorkshire. He was married in 1898 at St. Anne's by the Sea. We thought maybe he may have had relatives there. His wife, Mary Agnes Milburn, was born in Scotland. Alfred's father was William Francis Grewer. Do you have any connections? Thanks a lot!!!!! Liz

Re: Grewer

Hunt54wood — 2005-03-06 02:32:23Z

Hi Pearl, My husband's grandfather (Alfred H. Grewer) got married in St. Annes in 1898. He was born in Driffield but we assumed he may have gone to relatives in St. Anne's. Alfred married a Mary Agnes Milburn, Do you have an Alfred in your tree? His father was William Francis Grewer and his mother was Ann (Vickerman) Grewer. Many thanks

grewers in germany

sambaldy2002 — 2004-07-31 14:59:37Z

I dont know if this will aid you or not.
my grewer roots were in the us from germany
John Henry Grewer came to the us approx 1826
due to a missunderstanding or mispelling it became grever.
he had ancestors in stoppenburg katernburg area (essen)
or ermland i belive. Ancestors were johann heinrich grewer, heinrich grewer, and freidrich grewer. from there i draw a blank.
and my family never did find out john henry;s faters name so we could make a connection, I also feel that, grewers could have easily migrated from scotland to germany it is only 400- 500miles away. I dont know i am still searching.
good luck s.grever

Hi Pearl Criag
The name Jack Grewer sounds familiar! as my family comes from Blackpool lancashire and some relatives were in St Annes which is the next town to the south.
I'll ask my mother to see if she remembers.

Re: Help! Family tree thinly branched!

2001-09-04 17:43:51Z

Yes, this family tree is very thinly branched!

I am descended from Nicholas GREWER, who came to Philadelphia from Alsace-Lorraine in 1840. He had two sons, Adolph and Edward. Adolph lived in Philadelphia and had one daughter that I know about. Edward had 3 sons, Gurney, Lyell and Zell. Lyell had one son, who had one son, who had one son.

All three sons lived and died in the Philadelphia area. The SSDI records seem to indicate a Grewer family living in Ilinois in the 1840s and the 1880s, but they are no relation.

Nicholas lived for 30+ years in Delaware (1856-1887), and census records of the time show 2 other Grewer families living there.

I would like to try to find out where in the Alsatian region Nicholas came from. Good luck in your quest.

To the best of my knowledge, our family is of Scottish acncestory. It is great to see people taking an intrest. If any information is discovered, please post it for everyone to read. Take Care,

tiny bit of help

2001-03-06 13:16:12Z

Hello- I'm the Stephanie Grewer that you posted a reply to. There really isn't much I can give you, since the two of us seem to be in a similar situation (or rather, my father is). However, there seems to be an uncanny pattern surrounding a man that we are researching right now. We hope to have completed our research soon, and will let you know if anything turns up. Do you know the high school, and town that your mother lived in? The one we are researching had parents in Monrovia around that time. There are very few other Grewer's in Southern California, especially at that time, that we have been able to loacate. -Stephanie Ann Grewer

Just making a search for any knowledge of those connected to my last name. There's a more in-depth version posted at familyhistory.com. Please help if you can! Thanks. Steph.

Hello Geoff!

I've just finished posting, when what I should have done to begin with is reply to the two of you! Please read my post back at family history.com, and help if you can!

Help! Family tree thinly branched!

2001-01-20 10:01:25Z

Hello anyone out there with knowledge of the Grewer line. My Grandfather was one Terry Grewer whom I've never met, and who wasn't very responsive to phone requests for information. I have no knowledge of my family history whatsoever (at least, not on this side). Have been tracing other Grewers through the internet, but can't seem to figure out which of them I'm connected to. Half seem to have come from Germany, with some living in England. There is even a Scottish branch. The one place that I seem unable to locate any of us in is here in the US- at least no one who cares to speak with me. If anyone has any info, access to trees, or any knowledge of Terry Grewer's ancestry, please let me know Thanks!

Hello Grewers

Hello to all of the Grewers. I had a feeling I would be the first one in the family to be on the internet! Hope you see this within a few years!

CRoyce2000 — 2001-08-16 01:02:32Z

hello, I was once a Grewer. I was adopted at a very young age. I believe my father to be a Grewer, as I was born Robert Lee Grewer in July 1956. I also believe that he was not told by my mother that he was going to be a father. Her name is Margo Ann Peterson. They were dating in High school. Any info to my past would be great. I'm seeking for more information on my past for my children.

Grewer

CRoyce2000 — 2001-08-16 01:02:32Z

I think your information is help to me, at least a conection maybe. I was told I was born in Duarte. But then on a letter signed by my birth mother, it stated I was born in Covina. Which is all in the one area. In the letter it states that the father was not told about me, because my birth mothers family requested it that way. They also stated that it was a rather small town that they were from. My adopted mother gave me the letter to help me solve some questions. What I do know is the father was 17 and a junior in 1955 (Spring)when they met. His senior year in late fall my mother became pregnant. She left school in May 1956. I was born in July 1956. She was returning to school as a senior.

CRoyce2000 — 2001-08-16 01:02:32Z

hello, my husband was born Robert Lee Grewer.
Born to Margo Ann Peterson on July 12, 1956.
We can only guess that his father's name is Grewer, since the mother's last name is Peterson. We do know that he was born in southern Calif. and that his parents we're both in High School. I need more information for medical reasons for our children. Any help I can send your way I will. Any info. you can send my way will help.
Thanks
