Zobrist saga

I recently talked to my father, who is 74 year old and had good and bad days with his memory. He remembered that any man born in Switzerland was obligated to serve in the Swiss Army no matter where in the world his family may be located. My great-Grandfather was killed in the great Flu epidemic of 1917 whil serving in the Swiss Army. This could be a clue in some of the male Zobrist who seem to disappear. Not all people were included in census tallys. There were natural displacements and economic factors that moved families. Just look at some of moves we do in present times? I will contact you if I get some more Zobrist info. My relatives, I am told, have a complete Zobrist Chart in Switzerland. Looks like I need to get a copy? I will get back to you in a month or so... Later.

I am a Zobrist, originally from Peoria, Illinois. There is a Zobrist book in my family that has a listing of tons of Zobrists. Have you ever seen one?

Sorry, I don't. But perhaps my parents do. I could ask my father. My family moved from Illinois when I was only six. But I will try to find out from my father, who is a Zobrist, and see what I can find for you.

Take your time, I am stilll trying to find my
baker reletives around 1800. There are still Zobrists around Warren Pa, but that is a 8hour drive for me, and with the condition of my nerve damage to my balance it would be like a normal person driving 32 hours while having the flu. If you check back with me by email I will update you with the Zobrist I have on file, but are not proved beyond 1850. Keep me in mind if you find something. Almost all Zobrist are from a small town in Switzerland, so we mwy be related a 5th or 6th cousins by Zobrist? thanks...BruceBaker
