The "Strobels of Southern Indiana" includes three "branches" that settled along the Ohio River from about the same place in Germany at about the same time. Many moved on to Tennessee, Arkansas, Oregon, etc. There are 3300 persons, including relatives by marriage - quality information, individually typed in, not pasted from elsewhere.

First, look at the names to see if you're related or interested!

Then read "How does this work?", before exploring the genealogical reports and articles arranged here by branch. Some are large, illustrated, and slow to download, even on broadband. Some are short, interesting selections. Help us fill in the missing parts. Thanks.
