I was to offer up some information to stop all the untruth's surrounding this family
line. Many people believe what George Olin Zabriskie published in his 2 volume books.
There are several mistakes.I am trying to recover my files of 10 years worth of data, and
over 40 years of research.
It has been put before the public that Albert Zabriskie (no matter how his name is
spelled) was Polish and from Prussia. I have often wondered why the line stops with him
haven't you? Well when copying records as happened with the compiling by G.O.
Zabriskie research one must remember that we have come along way in technology from 1963
and before, copies were of poor quality.
That being said Prussia (Poland) looks an awful lot like Russia. The polish part comes
from his wife not him. He is not related to the Sobieki's of Royality in any sense.
My grandmother was Albert's 6th g-granddaughter, my lines hjail from Christian. There
are many of the lines that can not claim such a close relation.
Currently I am transfering date from the books of G.O.Zabriskie into this link:
http://www.myheritage.com/site-175969922/zabriskie-families-volumes-iiiiii
there are over 18,000 seperate persons and that number stopped in 1963 or slightly before
when the books went to publish. I still have almost 50 years to catch up on.
There is one line that I am searching out of France suggesting the name Albrecht was
actually Alexander, who has blond hair and blue eyes, Now my question remains.. How many
Zabriskie lines carry this trait to their children and beyond? I was blond and blue eyed
until I was 14.
Any how please visit and hope that my research will help to create a better understanding
of our history.
