Surnames: Stroub Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0IQBAEB/45.62.63.64.1.2 Message Board Post: I have a good one for this topic of debate. My maiden name is Stroub. Pronounced Str ou, as in you b. When my Dad was in the Army, he many times was called St. Rob. And to add to this, he said his surname used to be Van Stroub. But that had changed before his Father had had it. I have no clue as to where my family originated. What I do know is that there used to be a Stroub's oyster Bay restaurant. My grandfather worked there, while in his teens - around the 1910's. I would really appreciate any light someone could shed on this. All are deceased, I have no one to ask. Thank you.
