The Aisenbrey Family - A German-American Family with Roots in Wuerttemberg

Genealogical Aspects from the Late Middle-Ages to the Emigrants (1470 - 1850)

 Authored by Heinz Aisenbrey                
 

For most families originating in Southwest-Germany it is difficult to
ascertain their places of origin because here  the 30-year war raved
especially violent and most church registers were destroyed. The
nobility or a very rare surname, as is the case for the Aisenbrey
family, establish an exception. The characteristic structure of this
surname enables the researcher to easily identify the name in old
documents.
In this genealogical non-fiction book which encloses a
period from 1470 to approx. 1850, the documents which unambiguously
mention a forefather of the Aisenbrey family (stock books, muster 
lists, serf's registers, tax lists etc.) are presented. For the
ancestors not only their data are collected but their story is embedded
in the historic environment.
In the second part of the book a pedigree is described which ends with the emigrants in every branch.

Today about 90% of the family live in the USA. Exemplarily the history
of the first emigrant, Peter Aisenbrey (Eisenbrey), who left his native
country already in 1753, is reconstructed. Thus this book is of special
interest for the Eisenbrey lines of our family.

It supplements the history of the Eisenbrey families with their common origin.

Editorial review:
Genealogy is a broad field. Those who accept the
challenge to cultivate this field fruitfully, should apply in addition
to the necessary skill a lot of perseverance, patience, meticulousness
and detective instinct. It does not need to be specially emphasized that
sometimes a bit of luck is helpful. Heinz Aisenbrey has taken care of
the history of his family in an exemplary manner, has gone into the
archives and did research. He hasn't left it at a pure data collection,
but also convincingly tried to embed the story of his ancestors in the
historic environment. To stay in the aforementioned image: A harvest
which is noteworthy!
