Stephanie, I am the daughter of your Great Aunt Itha. We recently moved Mom to an assisted living center and I have some of her books and she gave me the family pictures when we moved her. I belive Aunt Ines has grandpa Eis' Bible. Mom had it rebound several years ago, after Grandma died, and gave it to her. According to the family tree that is framed Grandpa Eis was born 2/25/1853. There is a family photo taken several years before Grandma Elsie was born, even before Aunt Mary was born. I have also found the information about a Martha Eis, but have not been able to determine exactly who she was. There is also a portrait of Christina Loupe, born in France. In Mother's things there are some notes regarding family history. I think the family has always been under the misconception that Grandpa Eis was born in Germany -- but I don't believe he was. I am at home recuperating from shoulder and bilateral hand surgery so I will try to find some more information for you. Grandpa and Grandma are buried in Beaver County. She died in 1901 and he in 1932. His 2nd wife was Anna.
