Gubbe Family History
Thank you for stopping by to see our web site.
This web site is a work in progress. I am learning how to do this
as I go so please bear with my mistakes. Also, as more information
is
acquired
this
site
will
be
updated.
Please
stop
by
often
to
check
our
progress.
Also,
If
you
have
information
that
I
have
not
obtained
as
of
yet
or
notice
any
mistakes,
I
would
greatly
appreciate
your
donation
of
this
information
and
any corrections.
While researching the Gubbe name I have discovered that the name has undergone several spelling changes:
Gubbe, Gobba, Gubba, Gubby, Gubbey, Gobbe
The reason for the difference in the spellings was possibly due to the early Gubbe's not being able to read or write,
possibly census takers not understanding their german accent and I was told one school teacher in Michigan decided
to change the name to Gobba from Gubbe. The court house records in Lenawee County, Michigan also has various spellings for the same people.
There
are
two
distinct
Gubbe
Families
in
the
U.
S.
&
Canada.
The
one
common
denominator
is
at
one
time
they
either
lived
in
Michigan
or
stopped
there
on
their
way
somewhere
else.
I
have
broken
these
two
families
into
categories
denoting
the
oldest
of
each
family
that
I
know
of
at
this
time.
They
are
Gottlieb
Gubbe
and
Karl
Gubbe.
I
have
given
them
each
a
page
with
a
Decendency
Chart
and
links
to
other
people
who
have
referenced
them
on
different
websites.
I
have
a
theory
how
these
two
families
are
connected........
This
is
only
a
theory.
There
is
a
Florentine
Gubbe
Gatz
buried
in
the
Waconia
cemetery
in
Waconia,
Minnesota.
She
was
born
1799.
Gottlieb
was
born
1811.
They
could
possibly
be
brother
and
sister.
The
Karl
Gubbe
Family
immigrated
to
Canada
then
to
Michigan
and
from
there
went
to
McCleod
Cty
Minnesota
which
is
not
far
from
Waconia.
Since
Gottlieb
already
had
a
son
named
Carl
who
was
born
in
1846
and
the
Karl
Gubbe
who
immigrated
from
Canada
was
born
1835,
I
think
that
there
was
possibly
a
brother
of
Gottlieb
and
Florentine
who
could
have
been
his
father.
This
would
explain
the
geographical
connection.
Immigrated
families
tended
to
stick
together.
I
also
believe
the
Karl
Gubbe
family
originally
immigrated
to
Canada
at
the
time
of
our
Civil
War.
It
was
easier
to
get
into
Canada
because
our
sea
ports
were
closed.
So enough of this stuff. You're here because you are either a Gubbe or you have an association with a Gubbe and you are researching the family name. I have put together as much as I have right now. There are probably mistakes and if you see any please e-mail me with the corrections. I have used census records, county birth records, cemetary records, county marriage & death records as well as some verbal history while compiling this information.
I
would
like
to
thank
LuAnn
Gubbe
Bluntschly
for
her
assistance
with
researching
the
Michigan
Gubbe's
(Gobba's).
I
would
also
like
to
thank
Dale
Kenneth
Gubbe
for
his
wealth
of
information
on
the
Michigan
Gubbe's/Gobba's.
Please sign my guest book with comments or suggestions. I welcome any and all.
Thanks for stopping by.
