My Grandparents Rosina & Adolph Ebnit at one time had the last name of Inebnit. Many years ago my great Uncle Pete Inebnit droped the (In)ebnit and hence the spelling of Ebnit. Uncle Pete lived in Wisconsin, do not remember the exact location at this time. I do not have the family tree right at had at this moment. My Grand Parents lived in the country near Ithaca, Michigan. I have been told that our family name was one of a kind, because we came from Switzerland and the only family in the US and some of the family members that also came to the US keept the spelling of Inebnit or Inabnit.
