Looking for information on Ulrich John Traber. He was my great Grandfather. Married Ella Theilig. Came to San Francisco, CA.,USA from Europe approx. 1885 ?? Do not know of additional children. All information welcome. Thanks

He was my Great Grand father as well. My grandmother was Bertha Traber his daughter.

According to my father, my great-grandfather has two siblings, a brother Arnold (from Zurich) and a sister Anna. My dad's middle name is Ulrich.
I am Bill's first cousin. His dad (the olderst) and my dad are the sons of Bertha Traber Karoly (1901-1987), Ulrich and Ella's oldest daughter/child.
There were five Traber children. I remember Bertha, Ella and Otto. Otto was the only son and the youngest. He was closer in age to dad and my uncle. His children (my dad's first cousins) are my age.

Okay, the children were:
Bertha, Ella, Otto, Helyne and Salina, in that order. I was wrong about Uncle Otto. He was the middle child, not the youngest, according to my dad.

Four children is correct. In order by birth they were: Bertha Ella Otto Helen (Helyne) Selena (Sally)
I've heard about Arnold who stayed in Switzerland but never heard of Anna. Who is Bill? - Bennett?

Bill (William) is my first cousin, Bertha's grandson as well. He is Bennett's son, my dad's older brother and oldest child of Bertha (Traber) and Bennett Karoly.
Thanks for the email today. According to dad, we're not second cousins, but "first cousins once removed." I would guess that the "once removed" would be on my part since you and dad are first cousins and I'm am one generation removed from you.
