The Stroeing Name
The correct English spelling of the last name is
S T R O E I N G. This is the American version of Ströing in Germany. Today's spelling has evolved through the years from its origin in Germany. The sir name was morphed as follows:
__1st_____2nd____3rd_____4th
- Ströinck - Ströink - Ströing - Stroeing
The spelling "Ströing" can still be found in Germany today.
The name Stroeing is pronounced "st-row-ing".....similar to "rowing" but with a ST at the beginning.
There are various official government documents, most housed in Stearns County, Minnesota, which have the surname "Stroeing" spelled incorrectly. Some incorrect versions are Straing, Stroering, Stroing, Strong, Stroenig, etc.
Both MN & US Census 1875 - 1905, as well as the early platte books for Stearns County, have the misspellings mentioned above.
