Hi Melinda,

I’m so glad to hear from you! I am going to tell you just a little bit about the family line, and then refer your message to my cousin, Vicki Metz, who knows a lot more about family connections than I do. She grew up around the family and my immediate family moved from Milwaukee when I was 9.

I see a Leo Eberhardy on our family lines, but he was born 1910 and passed away in 1980. Could your granddad possibly be his son (maybe a Jr.)? Also, I notice you say Leo was born about 1940 and his son, your dad, born about 1950 - are these the years you meant to show? This Leo Eberhardy was married to Francis Willihnganz. He was a son of Peter Nicholaus Eberhardy, my grandfather’s brother. We do have a great deal of information back to Germany, the earliest known ancestor being: Unknown Everhardi (b. about 1718).

Please let me know if and when you hear from Vicki. My address is: nancy.mays@netzero.com. I would love to hear back from you and see how we all connect.

Nancy
