A Special Thank You and Credits
For Gail (Chief Scribe and Fact Assembler) and Patti (Technical Director and Internet Guru), this web site is a labor of love. However, without the support, encouragement, and generosity of countless family members across the U.S. and in Germany, this could never have happened. First and foremost, those of us working on the family history today stand on the shoulders of those whose past efforts uncovered the clues that help us understand the origin of the family.
|
Willis Wolf Eisenhart of Abbottstown PA (1877-1970) who planted the seeds and sent us in the right direction. |
|
|
Rev. George W. Eisenhart II who received the mantle from Willis Wolf and continues to guide us. |
|
|
Marcy and Bud Isenhart whose work on the Isenhart family and other related issues is helping us untangle family relationships and our shared ancestry. |
|
|
Amber C. Eisenhart (1889-1982) was the first to compile, print, and disseminate the complex history and family tree data of the Spring Valley Eisenhart family. |

Ruth C. Eisenhart (1909-1989) was also instrumental in researching the origin of this family branch. |
|
Without the efforts of Amber and Ruth, descendants of Benjamin Eisenhart of Spring Valley, we would not have been able to reach our goal of finally placing this family branch on the family tree. |
|

We would also like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Charles F.

Belytschko adapted the DNA Project spreadsheet for use on this web site. Finally, we would like to thank all of the DNA Project members who took the leap of faith and participated in this project. Without them, we would not have the invaluable scientific information that either confirms long held suppositions or tells us we have further work to do.
In addition to those mentioned, we are grateful for the support and encouragement of Mae Eisenhart Lollis and Margaret Eisenhart Apecechea.
