Hi Roy!
I'd have to do a lot more digging to see if or how we're connected, but I am an Eibert whose family is also from New York. The immigrant ancestor is Tobias Eibert (b. 1846 d. 1934) buried in Otisco, NY. I would have to look what year he came across on a boat (prior to WWI I'm pretty sure). It's tough once you go back to Germany, where he came from, as some of the first names change and it's also tough because our name is a old frisian word for "Stork".
That's about all I know at the moment.
