Hi Elisabeth, that's good that you know the exact spelling. It helps a lot. I never came across a Ströbel, just Strobel or Ströbele. I am glad I wrote "most likely". LOL. Anyway do you know where your Wilhelmina is from? And when she emigrated?

(I use Stroebel so as not to have to bother with the umlaut) so I do not see how it could be "wrong". Elizabeth C > One listmember mentioned the name Stroebel, most likely that is wrong.
