After we found copies of our tree in the internet we decided to cut off every detailed information about living family members. We regret this step very much but stick to our decision.

GALLERY: Additions to 7-LION Frankfurt.

Many Thanks both to Mr. Kurt Heißer and especially his brandnew contact Mrs. Charlotte Gibbons who was able to fill many gaps in the LION family history, and presented surprising new insights about old family ties

TREE - Descendants of Amschel Elias EBERSTÄDTER and Eva OPPENHEIMER of Worms:
addition: On Jan. 28, 2010 , Louis Ney SZAFIR died in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA. She was daughter of Leo Edwin NEY and Rachel Violet PHILIPSON, and descendant of Meyer DOPPELMAYER of Floss and Rosalie EBERSTADT of Worms. In death, she followed her husband Norman SZAFIR. May she rest in peace.

Welcome, we're online again after heavy problems with a new program.
What's new? Oh, we came into contact with descendants of Rudolf HECHT (of Mannheim, later New York) in the US - never knew there were some, neither did they know about this ancestry line. We welcome all you ROGERS warmly and invite you to surf around in this unknown mishpoke. (The connection is through the families SELIGMANN - BAMBERGER.)

TREE - Descendants of Amschel Elias EBERSTÄDTER and Eva OPPENHEIMER of Worms:
addition: Jonathan Reuven ROVICK and Leah Renee ROEBER, they married Jan. 2, 2010. We wish you all luck!

We intensified work on the GOLDSMITH-connection and came into contact with the brother of Ernest, Harry GOLDSMITH of Canada. Netta GOLDSMITH from UK sent the typewritten history of the ancestors of the Nuremberg GOLDSCHMIDH -Brothers - a fascinating journey to the past, unveiling the mystery about this part of our EBERSTADT family we never did know anything of. We add to the descendants of the EBERSTADT-FELDHEIM family: WILLENBÜCHER (WILLS), SHEPPARD, BELTZ, VON FALKENHAYN

Ferdinand Eberstadt - Once more. Someone related and yet unknown to us, a certain Ernest GOLDSMITH, published "FERDINAND EBERSTADT (1808 Worms - 1888 Mannheim) and his Family)" a biography and transscription of letters of Ferdinand to his sister Johanna FELDHEIM. A most interesting addition to known sections of his political life during the German revolutionary events around 1848 (beware of some little mistakes concerning the family). See the fabulous internet page of Susanne Rieger and Gerd Jochem: http://www.rijo.homepage.t-online.de/pdf/EN_DE_JU_eberstadt_ferdinand.pdf (in English). Thanks to Netta Murray GOLDSMITH who edited her deceased husband's work from 1988.

TREE - Descendants of Abraham EBERSTADT and Elisabeth Betty SELIGMANN of Worms

Sad news came from the BRAILLARD family of France, as Claude BRAILLARD died 29 of October 2008 in Versailles. He left his wife Ursula nee SASSENROTH and their sons Christian, Bertrand, Frank.

Anais, born May 06, 2008, Edinburgh, GB, daughter of Anne and Frank BRAILLARD;
