The Eitel's came to America in 1833 from Wildbad and Graefenhausen, Wuerttemberg, Germany, and their families had lived in those two towns back to at least the middle 1500's. Occupations: They lived in the Black Forest, some of them chopped down trees, and others floated the trees down the Enz River to market.
