Raab
« on: Friday 07 October 16 08:53 BST (UK) »
Hello, I am still trying to trace the german roots of my gggrandfather Andreas Raab, first seen in the marriage records in Glasgow in 1856, when the records say he was born in Alphinstart (Alfinstaat/Alvenstadt?) Germany, parents Valentin Raab and Helen ( later referred to as Magdalena) Kebel, both deceased. They were Roman Catholic and he was a pork butcher.
His father Valentin was a farmer.
Anyone else researching a Raab connection?
So far I have 13 different spellings for Raab - rabb, robb, rob, rabbi, rabi, etc which all goes to make it more interesting to search.
