ITS ORIGIN WAS MOST RECENTLY TRACED TO THE EARLIEST FAMILY MEMBER FROM BERN, SWITZERLAND. DUE TO A CLERICAL ERROR WHEN COMING TO AMERICA, THE NAME "PROBST" WAS WRITTEN DOWN INCORRECTLY AS "BROBST". SHEEESH - AMERICANS! HOWEVER, ALL PROBST'S AND BROBST'S ARE RELATED. THERE ARE A FEW BROBST'S & PROBST'S WHO CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT OUR ANCESTORY AND NATURALLY AS A BROBST MYSELF I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN I OPENED THE POTTERY BARN MAGAZINE TODAY. <br /><br />AS FOR "ESCHENLOHR", NOT SURE BUT INTERESTED TO HEAR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. <br /><br />KIND REGARDS,<br />TED BROBSTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486186245238252667.post-57590597676022959872011-09-10T00:09:09.989-05:002011-09-10T00:09:09.989-05:00You did an awesome job!You did an awesome job!Maryann @ Domestically-Speakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481816548073243224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486186245238252667.post-41919491099853453722011-09-07T07:22:35.732-05:002011-09-07T07:22:35.732-05:00Really well done.Really well done.foreverdecoratinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278188412961955344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486186245238252667.post-31643102348852302802011-09-07T05:57:56.498-05:002011-09-07T05:57:56.498-05:00Fantastic job!
