Find Family

I am collecting information on my grandparents' families...Chester Edwin GLASS and Henrietta Emily RUHIG.

The GLASS family info that I have starts in Virginia, and tavels through West Virginia, Ohio, and into Michigan and includes the surnames of MASTEN, LEWELLEN (various spellings), TOLLEY, RANSBOTTOM, and others.

The RUHIG family info that I have starts in GERMANY, and goes to Detroit. It includes the surnames DOEBLER, MEININGER, and others.

Right now I am trying to focus on the GLASS surname. Family stories have the Glass' coming over from Scotland, so I am trying to make the connection!

I would love to hear from anyone researching these families and hopefully we can share information! Thanks for stopping by my homepage!

    I believe this picture to be taken on Henri's sister's wedding day in 1934. Her sister, Minnie, married Chester's close friend, George Thomas Davis.
  • The "Doebler Girls" (125 KB)
    Not sure on all of the names. Looks like Fredericka (Ploeger) Doebler in the back row far left. Appears to be Augusta (Doebler) Heldt in back row far right. Thanks for sharing this great photo Mary Lou Sackett-Penn!

  • Wilhelmina Doebler (629 KB)
    Daughter of William Doebler & Anna Meininger. My great-grandmother. She was born 1891. Looks like this pic was taken for her confirmation...she's holding her bible and looks about the right age.

    William and Fredericka migrated from Germany in the late 1860's, bringing their two children with them. After arriving in the states, they had three more children. Thank you, Mary Lou, for sharing this photo!
