Wonderful news! After a hiatus of several years, there will be a National
Brobst/Probst Family Reunion this fall. The date is September 7. The place is
somewhere in Ohio; exact location being worked out now. The Reunion Manager
is Jim Brobst of Columbus, Ohio, a descendant of Johannes F. Brobst (1750-1792)
and Anna Maria Barbara Stambach (1748-1829) of Berks and Lehigh County, PA.
The Reunion is open to any and all descendants (and spouses) of the two immigrant
brothers Philipp Jacob Probst and Johann Michael Probst. We know there are a
lot of other Probsts out there, but the vast majority of them aren't directly related to
us, so they're not really a part of our own side of the Probst family.
Details will be posted on these two Rootsweb mailing lists (Brobst and Probst)
(addresses above), and on the several Brobst/Probst message boards (addresses
below). If you're not already signed up on those lists and boards, now would be a
good time to do so.
Preliminary plans are for a Saturday outdoor get-together at a large park or some
other appropriate place. Jim and his wife Kathleen are experienced in putting on
such affairs, and so we're looking forward to a well-organized and fun time.
Just for the record, here's Jim's lineage: JAMES ERNEST15 BROBST
(WILLIAM ELLSWORTH14, MARTIN ELMORE13, BRAMUS12, PETER11,
JOHAN JACOB10, JOHANNES F.9, JEAN MICHAEL8 PROBST, PHILIPP
JACOB7, CHRISTOPHEL6, BARTHOLOMEW "BARTHEL"5, RUDOLPH4,
NIKLAUS3, HANS MICHEL?2, ALT HERR1). You can find him (and probably
yourself) in the Brobst Registry on-line data base at the worldconnect URL below.
You can reach him at:

We'll be looking for volunteers, especially in the Ohio area, to give Jim and Kathleen
a hand in the local arrangements. Please let Jim know if you can help.
Excitedly,
