Back in 1994, I was in touch with a Robert Rublee of Hartford, WI, who shared with me that his family's name had been changed though the years. He sent me an informal genealogy compiled by a relative. A question from Bob Robblee today prompted me to enter this family data into my genealogy program. I believe that the Greg Rublee who is currently running for US Congress may be of this family. There are two Gregory Rublees in the later generations of this family. I did not include the latter generations in this report, respecting the privacy of living individuals. Cindy Walcott Generation One 1.

He took the name Raabolle from a farm he operated before coming to the United States. An immigration clerk heard the name as Ruble, and he used that name in this country.
