General Information

Clyde Eisenbeis began researching the Eisenbeiß name in 1979 by writing letters to various Eisenbeiß families throughout North Dakota and South Dakota. This quickly expanded to California and Canada.

The first Eisenbeiß Family Reunion was in Beulah, North Dakota in 1982. There were relatives from seven states and a Canadian province. We did not know how we were related, but we had the same last name.

Four Eisenbeiß distant relatives from Germany were at the second International Eisenbeiß Family Reunion in 1984 in Aberdeen, South Dakota. About 350 distant relatives were there. Since then, it has included distant relatives from France, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.

Over the next decades, the research expanded in an attempt to record all known Eisenbeiß families. Hundreds of folks have contributed thousands of names / family relationships ... and includes Eisenbeiß family genealogies from around the world (listing of contributors). The genealogy has expanded to over 14,000 relatives.

Special acknowledgement is given to Albert Eisenbeiß of Germany, Henri Eisenbeis of France, and Dennis Eisenbeis of California for their long term commitment to this extensive effort.
