Hello Marina,
I am researching my mother’s family.My great-grandfather’s name was Philip Eber.He was born February 17, 1838 in Niederbronn, Alsace, France (Loraine).I have information that he served in French standing army for seven years; that he was discharged from French army in 1858; that he served in French Calvary 1859-1865.
In 1865, he came to America along with his older brother Louis (Lewis).There was another brother, Charles, who seems to have come to America for a period of time (I don’t know the dates) then returned to France.I have not been able to find any information on the parents of these 3 brothers or what became of Charles after his return to France.
If you have or find any information on this family, I would appreciate learning of it.I am sorry that I cannot help with identifying your photo.I do hope that the information I have supplied will aid in your research.If you find that there is a connection I can supply more information on Philip Eber’s descendants.I will be watching your message board with anticipation of the possibility of being a lost relative.
Good Luck!
Lynne
