Hi, my name is Melinda Eberhardy Wolf. My daughter is doing a project at school and it requires research for a family tree. We do not know much about my fathers family. The only family of his we know is his immediate family. There are not any other Eberhardy's that we know of any where near us. All I know so far is my grandfathers name was Leo Eberhardy and he was born around 1940 and he died around 1971.My father's name is Michael Eberhardy and he was born in 1950 in Tulsa, OK. Do you have a family tree. Is it possible we are related somehow??

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.

Melinda,
I was alerted about this message by a cousin of mine, Nancy (Eberhardy) Mays. I have a rather extensive Eberhardy family tree, but I can't find the names you mention. I DO have a Leo Eberhardy of who I don't know much about. He is the son of Nicholas and Elsie (Rickert) Eberhardy. I have another Leo (son of Peter and Mathilda (Lammeyer) Eberhardy. But my family tree, of course is not complete. I only rely on what others give me.

Just so you are aware, ALL Eberhardy's are related. That much I know. You are related to us--we just have to find the common thread. If you can e-mail me and just give me as much as you know--parents, grandparents, great grandparents, any dates you know. There are some family members who we sort of lost track of. I try to track down people, but if they don't answer. . . I know there was a brother of my grandfather's--Nick (I met him once when I was a kid)--who moved out west. I just couldn't get that family to answer any of my letters. Heaven only knows where they are now. I know he was married and had four children, Leo being one of them. But I don't have any marriage information for Leo or any children--simply due to lack of information.

So if you could answer me, give me what you have, and I'll try to connect you and give you everything I have. It is an enormous family. A lot of the family had rather large families--10-12 kids. My dad was one of 12. We need to answer these questions while some of the older generation is still alive. I also have some fabulous stories in the family tree. I'll pass them on if you are interested.

Thank you for responding. I would love any information you could give. I know my dad's dad is Leo Eberhardy and Leo's dad is Nicholas Eberhardy. My dad said his dad (Leo) told him his dad (Nicholas) came over from Germany. My dad never spent too much time with his grandfather Nicholas but he does remember watching a tv show with him and solders were talking in German and he told them what they were saying. So he knows he did speak German. I will send you bith dates of the Eberhardy's I know. Unfortunately Leo died while he was in his 50's of cancer and his mother died when he was really young. And I don't think he was very close to his father because Nicholas remarried after his wife died to a lady who had 5 kids of her own and he pretty much wasn't there for Leo. But I will find out more names and maybe you can help. Thanks again

Melinda,

Glad to hear from you. How about responding directly to my personal e-mail of metzv@sbcglobal.net

Vicki

Vicky,
I sent a private e-mail to your address at sbcglobal and it came back as undeliverable.

Frances Willihnganz, who married Leo Eberhardy, was my mother's cousin and I have been doing a lot of work on the Willihnganz family.

Would you be willing to help me out with Leo and Frances' family? I know that they had two children. Daniel went to school in Pennsylvania and is/was a piano tuner. Margaret married Paul Hewet and then on 23 Nov 1973 married Stephen Mann. I do not know the birthdates and places for the children. Was Daniel married? When did Margaret marry Paul? Where did the marriages take place and who are the parents of Paul and Stephen. Did either child have children?

Any help would be appreciated.

Needless to say, I would be willing to share any Willihnganz info with you.

Hi Melinda,

I just thought I would check to see if you received Vicki's message and let you know we hope to stay in touch with you. I am not able to correspond directly with you since I don't have your e-mail address, but if you would like to e-mail me back at either of my addresses: gnmays@netzero.net or nancy.mays@netzero.com. I would love to hear back from you!

Hope you have a blessed day,
Nancy Eberhardy Mays
