| Welcome! From this page you can find out a little more about the Jacob and Gross surnames. Jacob Family History The earliest known Jacob ancester was Robert Jacob, who was born in Germany (probably around 1820). His wife Amy Liberman(?) was also born in Germany. They had, a son named Robert Ephram Jacob who was born 6-Dec-1844, in Germany. Robert Ephram Jacob married Marie Freiman, who was born in Latvia, 5-Jun-1864. Robert and Marie had five children, Emilie, Robert, Marie, Fredrick, and Julius, all of whom were born in Lithuania. Emilie Jacob was apparently the first to come to the US, sometime before 1906. The next was Marie Jacob who arrived on 6-Jan-1906 aboard the Neckar (NGL), with her passage paid by her sister Emilie. Emilie married Friedrich Pollman probably in 1906. Fredrick, Robert & Julius Jacob immigrated to the United States arriving in New York (Ellis Island) on 14 Jan 1907 aboard the Chemnitz (NGL), with their passage paid for by their brother-in-law Friedrich Pollman (Emilie's husband). Others that came over are thier parents Robert Ephram Jacob, and Marie Freiman. They all settled in New Kensington, Westmoreland County, PA, later moving to Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA, and Salineville, Columbiana County, OH. Today, the Jacob line is spread throughout the United States in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington, and New York, to name a few places. Gross Family History The Gross Family traces at back to Taurage, Lithuania. Emma Marie Gross, and her younger brother Richard arrived in the US on 18 Jun 1921 aboard the SS Rotterdam IV. Their passage was paid for by their brother-in-law Ludwig Kromptlz. Ludwig Krompltz was the husband of Martha Gross, who had come over sometime earlier. There is also another brother John Gross whom I don't know when he came over. They immigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It has been suggested there was a jewish ancester in this line.
