Dear all, Sue Anderson has mentioned of interest in our Eisenach heritage...I have many documents and pictures from the 1840's to the present. My fathers mother was Bertha Eisenach, the only daughter amongst 9 children. My father Ray Augustus Brown 2/18/09-11/9/92, was very secretive about his family. I was his only child and have one boy of my own Adam Ray Brown dob 3/6/94. My aunt Dora Eisenach Gideon went to Germany in 1950 and spent her life savings of $25,000 tracing the Eisenach family back to the years of approx. 1000! She lived to be well over 100 years of age and spent much of her life and passed away in Lakeland Fla. in the 1970's...She was a leader in the Theosophical society which believed in re-incarnation directly related to the Holy Bible. The only other relatives of my father's side of the family I was close too, were his sister Emma Hallam and her son Lloyd who helped raise my father as both of his parents Bertha E. Brown and Herman Brown died while my father was a child approx. 1920, Berthas approx death date...Herman died earlier they lived in Duluth MN, and owned many bowling alleys and pool halls but apparently lost all due to Berthas inability to run the families busnisses. I would love to hear from any of the Eisenach family as I have felt alienated since my fathers passing in 1992 and I have much info on all the family including thousands of pictures , letters etc. dating back to about 1840!
