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.
