Kristie Weiland Cohen appeared just as several Strauber-Strober-Struber relatives were beginning to discover each other online. Her first contact was through a genealogy message board with several of us who listed ourselves there as looking for information on our family. Is it possible, Kristie asked, that her great-grandfather William “Bill” Struber was part of our Struber family?
Those more knowledgeable than I in these matters quickly deduced that William Struber, Kristie’s great-grandfather, was the second child and first son of Mendel “Max” Struber, a son of Yoinaton Folic, who was a son of Abraham Aaron Strober.
Kristie was “in the club”… and lucky for us. She has proved herself to be an ambitious and skilled researcher, often making connections when those of us with more cobwebs in our heads couldn’t see them. And she also discovered a treasure-trove of photographs in the basement of her grandmother, Catherine (Struber) Weiland. Here are some of those pictures.
