| George and Eve Gribel came to America ca. 1830.
Supposedly they lived in Philadelphia at first, in Lebanon Co., PA
for a while, in Pittsburg, PA for a while, and by 1850 they were
in Hancock Co., OH.
Their son George changed his last name to Grivel around the Civil
War. Some of their other children changed the name to Gribel.
George and Eve possibly came from Alsace-Lorraine and spoke
German. It has also been told that one or both came from Holland.
There may have been a fifth child, Fred. See the notes
