My father's mother was Bernice Zobrest b. 1909 Buffalo. Her father was Jacob Zobrest (pro boxer "Iron Jake" in Buffalo and Buffalo cop) who was born in Little Valley, Warren Co. PA about 1876, moved to Buffalo area and married Josephine Donovan, and died in town of Derby, Erie Co. (small town south of buffalo). He was one of 16 kids. His father was Johann of John Zobrest who was born in Brientz, Swiss. in 1828. This John Zobrest married Mary Keller (b. Ireland) and had 16 kids (2 or 3 sets of twins in there). If this helps, great. If I can help more, email me at
