The name EISENBEIS is used to represent Eisenbeis and Eisenbeiss to avoid repetitions. However, the forms EISENBEISZ, EISENBISE, EISENBEISER and EISENENBEISS have not been changed.

To establish the lineages in Neunkirchen, Saarland, Germany, I had to collect all information available but especially the period 1750-1850 I have kept separate as it may be useful to the researchers of families which do not have ties with the Eisenbeises. You will also find three families whose forebears had a lot of relations with the Eisenbeises of Neukirchen, the LEIBENGUTH families, the ANSCHUETZ (Anshutz) and FRIED. The search is continuing. For the Leibenguths of the region of Melchnau in Switzerland, canton of Berne, you will find data of this township and those in the south of Alsace under LIBUNDGUTT. Other spellings of this name are LEAVENGOOD, LEVERGOOD, LIEBENGUTH, LIVENGOOD, LOVINGOOD, LOWENGOOD, LOWENGUT, LOEWENGUTH, LEVEGOOD and LIEBEGOOD.

Researching a person can be difficult because there often is a problem in the transcription of given names (forenames). The first given name is often Hans or Johann. This has been preserved. To find somebody, the best way is to begin with the spouse’s name if known. In “notes” you will find a lot of information on sources, anecdotes and articles with historic values. You are more than welcome to contribute anything you know ecause history is forgotten quickly...

Should you notice mistakes in lineages, don’t hesitate to contact the author to update the file. Enjoy your research!
