Another of our German cousins, Wolfgang Eisenhart of Langen Germany, has sent photos for the website. Like both Ulrich and Claudia, Wolfgang is a descendant of Matthyss Ysenhart of Dachtel. His family left Dachtel in the 1880s, although they remained in Germany. Wolfgang and his wife Renate are the proud dog parents of Maja and Laila.

Bruce Cooper Gill of the Allentown-Macungie descendant group and the host of Day #1 at our recent reunion weekend (at Harriton House in Bryn Mawr PA) is currently assisting Chef Walter Staib in a recently launched PBS cooking series entitled A Taste of History. Chef Staib is the proprietor of the City Tavern Restaurant in Philadelphia, the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States. The new series will focus on cooking and food preparation in Colonial America, with an emphasis on historical events and prominent citizens of the time. Harriton House will be featured in the 9th show of the season "Root Cellars." Filming for the second series of A Taste of History will resume in January at Harriton House. Although the show is currently being broadcast mainly in the northeastern U.S., those living in other regions can expect to see it in their areas in the future.

Dateline: Photo of the Month
Some photos can not be passed up; this is one of them. The bond of trust and love could not be greater than between us and our beloved pets.
Harley is the newest addition to our large Eisenhart family. Harley's Mom, Faye Eisenhart La Bare, just can't get enough of this darling.
Found abandoned by Rick La Bare, Faye's son, it was love at first sight for Faye and Harley.
Now almost 3 months old, Harley is a non-stop kitty who loves to play with all things; string, toy mice, and wiggly toes. There is no greater companion than a beloved pet and we welcome Harley to our family.

Dateline: DNA Special Report and Update
The data from our two newest DNA project members is in! Not only do we now have a more specific marker pattern for the large Lehigh Eisenhard/Eisenhart descendant pool of Johann Michael and Rachel nee Schuhmacher Eisenhart, but also the long suspected link between Immigrant Conrad Eisenhart of York Co. PA and other Eisenharts, Eisenhards, Eisenhardts, and Isenharts with roots in the village of Dachtel in Württemberg Germany has been proven. The results brought some surprises in our understanding of the family history.
