The Fleisch and Probst
Families

These pages cannot be reproduced for publication.  If you use any of the information for personal use,
I'd appreciate receiving acknowledgement of my contributions.

The FLEISCH and PROBST families have been very difficult to track. I have been unable to find Frederick A. Probst 
prior to his emigration from Berne Switzerland in 1873.
I have outlined below all the information I have on these two families

I have recently found more information on the early Fleischs;
if interested, contact me at satees@i1.net
