Setting some of the Struber record straight

Vic Struber, who’s been at this genealogy stuff for decades now and whose detailed notes on every discovery have been invaluable in linking the family tree, emailed the other day to say that I had an incorrect ID on one of Kristie’s photos.

We thought the Struber in this photo was Sam Struber, who is also seen in other photos as a WWI doughboy in France.

Vic says the Struber in this photo, taken (we think) five years before the WWI photo, is actually David “Dave” Struber. (He’s the second one from the left in the front row.)

Dave was six years younger than Sam.

Vic also sent along this 1975 picture of Dave’s oldest son, Norman, and his wife Eudice, at a family wedding to show the resemblance between Norman and his father.

 Dave’s other son, Arthur, who was five years older than Norman, was at the same 1975 family wedding with his wife Roz.
