Surnames: Eberhardt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UW.2ADI/2046 Message Board Post: According to the Social Security Index, Frank Eberhardt died in San Mateo County in May 1974, and his brother's obit (1960) specifies Redwood City. Frank's wife may have been Hilda. No knowledge of any children. He was born in Sumter or Brownton, McLeod county, Minnesota, around 1880, son of William & Albertine Augusta Eberhardt. I'm hoping his obituary will mention his parents - his father William Eberhardt is said to have died in California around 1913, possibly in San Jose, but can't find him out there. Any suggestions how to check a newspaper obit, or does anyone do look-ups in the area? Is there an on-line resource to use in narrowing down the search? Thanks for any advice!
