Thank you for any info you can provide,

Joseph Eis b. abt 1820, father of Edward

pleiad1 — 11 Mar 2004 9:26:29 GMT

My gg grandpa was Edward Eis b. 25 Feb 1852 in Dayton, Ohio and my information says that his wife's name was Tabitha Ann Campbell. And that his parents are Joseph Eis and Christiana Loupe. I found some info on this web site that speaks of an Edward Eis and a Martha A. Campbell and that his mom's name is Margeret Christian Louke. Are these the same people? The only relative I have who is also interested in genealogy is my great aunt (grandaughter of Edward) and, unfortunately, she is in ill health and I can't ask her. If anyone knows I would appreciate some help.

EIS-Tuscawaras Co OH to Muscatine Co IA

Susie Martin-Rott — 13 Dec 1999 4:49:27 GMT

The EIS family who settled in Tuscarawas Co OH and
moved to Muscatine Co IA seems to interlink with
several of my collateral lines. If you are
researching EIS in these areas, I have accumulated
a bit of info on them in the course of working on
my GRIMM line, which traveled the same routes from
Germany to Ohio to Muscatine in the same time
period (in fact may have come TOGETHER).

Catherine Eis

SVRead48 — 28 Dec 2002 6:17:39 GMT

Searching for information regarding Catherine EIS born in the early 1800's. She is thought to have immigrated with her husband, Joseph RUSLER (ROSSELER), from Metz, Alsace-Lorraine in 1837, and settled in Licking County, OH. On later census records, however, Joseph stated that he was born in Baden, Germany. Did they, perhaps, migrate from Germany to Alsace-Lorraine for political reasons and, from there, immigrate to America? In Perry County, OH, there lived Adam, Joseph and Katharine EIS who followed a similar immigration pattern. Were they siblings of Catherine EIS? Catherine seemed to be a baptismal name in the Perry County EIS families.
