Here is a list of queries
regarding other Dresser family lines in my database from various
countries that are not yet linked to any main Dresser line.
Additional information on their ancestors and descendants is
always welcome.
NOTE: I am looking for
volunteers from each country to help me research and connect
these partial family lines. Let me know if you would like
to help.
These partial lines have been grouped together by earliest known country of birth or death for easier reference. This page last updated on 4 Oct 2017.
ARGENTINA
(#04375) Frank Dreser and Katie Derbon. He
was born in Russia around 1860. Their 3 children were born in
Kaminko, Soradoff, Russia. The family immigrated first to
Argentina, then to Canada. By 1914, he was working in Kansas.
Most descendant lines are located in Canada, but there are some
in IL, Argentina and Mexico. The name was originally spelled with
one 'S', but it was accidently changed during WW II to Dresser
and the change remained in the Canadian line. Other lines still
spell the name Dreser. (55 family members on file)
