About us

The Dreisbach Book - The Dreisbachs, Dresbachs, Driesbachs, Etc. of North America and Their European Origins.  

Compiled, written and edited by:
Ardis Grosjean Dreisbach
Bruce Jack Dreisbach
Rev. Charles V. Dreisbach

Privately published for the Dreisbach Family Association by Smith-Bates Printing and Design of Klamath Falls, Oregon.  1998.

This book contains the known genealogies of the Dreisbach family as of 1997 when the data was collected.  One partial update was issued in 2001 under the title: The Dreisbach Book Reunion 2001 Supplement.  It is available for free download on the Dreisbach/Dresbach Family Association web site (https://www.dreisbach-dresbach.org/2001-tdb-supp).  See site index on the right.

The book lists the known descendants of 1743 immigrant, Simon Dreisbach Sr and the descendants of 1751 immigrant, Martin Dreisbach/Dresbach Sr.  Also listed are descendants of 1754 immigrant, Henry Dreisbach, who settled in Bucks Co.

Other immigrants and their descendants are also listed - these are people who probably are related in some way to either Simon Dreisbach or Martin Dreisbach, but the relationship has not been proven.

Important Correction on p. 70.  Jost Dreisbach did NOT marry Elizabeth Rachenberger - the best evidence indicates he married Elizabeth Dieter, daughter of his neighbor, John Dieter

We just completed a wonderful 2016 Dreisbach/Dresbach Family Reunion in Ross County, Ohio, where several of Martin Dreisbach's descendants settled.  In 2019 our reunion was held in Bucks Co., PA, home of the settlement of immigrant, Simon Dreisbach.  At the reunions everyone enjoys meeting old friends and making new friends.  Plans are underway for a 2023 Reunion in Ohio.  Visit the Dreisbach/Dresbach Family Association web site at https://www.dreisbach-dresbach.org/ for news and updates about the family, the organization, and a history of past reunions.
