I am the Great-granddaughter of Henry G. Wobben.I have been told that the original family name was Wobbe, the "N" being added sometime in the mid-to-late 1800's. He was
married to Elizabeth Henry and lived in Louisville, KY from the late 1800's until his death in the early 1900's. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Susan,
Our Wobbes came from Lengerich, Hanover, Germany. Over there the name was spelled WOBBEN, but the n was dropped when they came to the US. Interesting that your line added the 'n' over here.
