This is my first posting on the Grob list. My great great grandfather was Joseph Grob of Solothorn, Switzerland. According to his entry on the ship list he was Joseph Grob and he came on the "Energie" on 3 August 1865 . He was married to Elizabeth Marti (y) of Pfaffnau. Joseph was born in 1842 and I only can say he was born in Solothorn because of this entry on the ships list. That could be where he left from. But in later records he does say he was Swiss. I have not been able to find any birth records etc regarding Joseph. When he and Elizabeth came, they were in MI for a short time and then went to Freeport, IL. I have many records on them and children and descendants after that. I am just wondering if anyone on the list has come across Joseph, his place of birth etc? I am happy to share more to anyone interested. Thanks!
