Unfortunately, Grosert died long before I started working on my family tree.I often wish that I had had the foresight to sit down with Grosert and have a tape recorder to tape (and tap into...) his knowledge of the population of Elma Township. One of my most vivid memories are him giving an oral family tree history lesson on almost all the residents of Elma township. I SWEAR he knew three generations of everyone's family tree in Elma Township! In retrospect,it is such a shame that his reminicences are gone because no one ever bothered to ask...or maybe more correctly... to record...his knowledge.
