International Eyberg Family

Eyberg Family Tree

I started to create a family tree, but this is a lot of work. May be we can complete this tree together. The construction, the display and the printout on web pages is a little bit different than using normal paper, so I would appreciate your feedback for my way of designing it. May be you have a much better idea? The entry point is currently my own family, but could be any other Eyberg. Do you know any very famous Eyberg which is better to be used as entry point?

• Eyberg Family Tree (entry point Rudolf Eyberg)

On www.fehmarn-genealogy.com I found some more information about the roots of our family, which came originally from the island of "Fehmarn" in the north of Germany. A couple of families went from there to USA where still a lot of Eyberg families are living. So the eldest member of our family I know is Josius Johann Eyberg who was born about 1750 on or near this island.

Eyberg Streets

Up to now I know 5 streets named after our family name. You will find here soon some photographs of street plates because my new scanner is working finally. I would welcome any additional information about these and other streets, especially about why the streets are named so.

You will find these streets with google earth (http://earth.google.com) using coordinates. You have to download and install the appropriate free software (I recommend a performant PC and fast internet connection). After start of "Google Earth" just copy and paste the coordinates in the search field and after clicking on the search button you will fly to the location. Enjoy your flight!

I have not checked yet the best possibility to offer here clickable or downloadable links including a notice text for Google Earth. May be you can give me a hint how to realize this.

Eyberg Hill

The Großer Eyberg (Great Eyberg) is a hill near to Pirmasens in Germany. The Great Eyberg is 514 meters high and is located in a very nice area, which is ideal for making some days of vacation. Remark for non germans: "Berg" is the german word for hill. The geographical coordinates of this hill are about 7°45'23" degrees east longitude and 49°08'01" degrees north latitude. For Google Earth use: 7°45'23"E 49°08'01"N

What's Planned for the Future

• You will find here the announcement for the annually Eyberg Reunion in Treynor, USA.
• You will find some explanations why the Eyberg streets are named like this. Currently I do not have all this information, but I received already something from USA about it.
• You will have access to addresses, phone numbers, ... of Eyberg family members. Don't worry it will be realized with password restriction.
• What else? Please send your proposals and comments to me (see footer Author link).
