The Eltzholtz Family Magazine

"The Eltzholtz Family in America and Denmark" is a 76 page magazine format story about the family documented since our first known ancestor arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark from the Pomern region of Germany. The magazine features 12 genealogical charts that document the relationship of nearly 440 descendants of Johann Peter Eltzholtz. Every person named Eltzholtz in the United States and Denmark is related to Johann Peter (1726) Eltzholtz by either a direct line or marriage.

.

First published and distributed in February, 2007 the magazine has been revised 3 times with added pictures and facts. The fourth printing has been made necessary by family members ordering the magazine to send as Christmas gifts. The magazine cost is $19.00 from the printer including postage. During October, 2007 the printer has agreed to make a set including the Eltzholtz Magazine and 2 additional 16 page publications regarding Ditlev Eltzholtz for a total of $25.00 per set, a savings of $4.00 if ordered alone.

.

I will need quantity ordered and checks and addresses by October 26, 2007. The revised material and newly added photos will go to the printer by October 29, 2007. The printer will deliver finished magazines to me around November 15, 2007. I'll mail to whatever addresses you supply me, however, I'm not able to gift wrap the order. If you need to talk additional details call me at (816)525-1319 or e-mail at www.dollarbill@kc.rr.com .

The California Branch of Eltzholtz

The California Branch of the Eltzholtz Family in the United States is descended from Carl Frederik Eltzholtz (1840 - 1929) the son of Johan Christoffer Eltzholtz (1801 - 1883) and a younger brother to Ditlev Christian Ernst Eltzholtz. The family charts for the California Branch start on page 56 of "The Eltzholtz Family in America and Denmark" magazine and continue through page 61.

.

The top photo is the only photo I have of Johan Christoffer and Tobia Marie Eltzholtz. The second photo is (seated) Rev. Carl Frederik Eltzholtz and Ingeborg (Belle) his wife, (standing) Mary Edith Fowler Eltzholtz and Rev. John Wesley Eltzholtz the son of Carl Frederik.

.

The bottom photograph, and it's one of my all time favorites regarding the Eltzholtz Family. is (l to r) is Edith, Dean Carl and Ruth Eltzholtz the children of John Wesley and Mary Edith Eltzholtz. The photo was made in 1912. Those two twin sisters and the expression of Dean Carl's face will just steal your heart.

.

The Califirnia Branch represents many members of the Eltzholtz Family but these are the only pictures that I have at this time. My hope is that continued interest in the Eltzholtz Web Site and the Eltzholtz.Blog will generate more photographs in the future.
