The Book Has Arrived

I received the book 650 Jahre--Nieder- und Oberthalhausen (1327-1977) today. And while it was disappointingly small--less than 3/8 of an inch thick and 134 pages as compared to the book about Tann which is over an inch thick and 409 pages--there is a chapter on the history of Hof Trunsbach which I found interesting. After I have a German acquaintance proofread my translation I will share what I have learned.
But for now, you will just have to be content in having a photograph of Hof Trunsbach that I lifted from the book and one fact to whet your appetite.

This is the Farm Estate of which Johann George Eichenauer (1727-1822), my GGGGG Grandfather, was Conductor. And his sons, Johann Henrich (1764-1813) (my GGGG Grandfather) and Johannes Eichenauer (1773-1836) also held this position. In fact, the book states that Eichenauers held this position generation after generation for nearly one hundred years (1794-1888). Way cool!

You may not be sure how you are related to these men, so this is the way it stacks up:

Johann George Eichenauer (1727-1822) was the father of
Johann Henrich Eichenauer (1764-1813), father of
Johann Konrad Eichenauer (1794-bef 1852), father of:
1. Anna Margaretha Eichenauer, second wife of Johann Tobias Rödiger, and together, parents of:
1a. Conrad Roediger (emigrated to Ohio in 1881)
1b. George Roediger (emigrated in 1888)
1c. Justus Rödiger, whose son John Henry Roediger emigrated in 1893.

2. Johann Friedrich Eichenauer, who married Katharina Rödiger, Johann Tobias Rödiger's daughter from his first marriage and who had four sons and one daughter who emigrated to Ohio:
2a. Tobias Eichenauer (emigrated in 1867)
2b. Conrad Eichenauer (emigrated in 1880)
2c. Adam Eichenauer (emigrated in 1880)
2d. Justus (Gustav) "Gus" Eichenauer (emigrated in 1883)
2e. Anna Elisabeth "Lizzie" Eichenauer (emigrated in 1896)

Assuming that you, as a reader of this blog are a descendant of Johann Konrad Eichenauer, this should hopefully help you to see where you fit in. If it is still not clear, just post a comment and I will be glad to help you pin it down.
