    1. [HESSE] query eid eiden
    2. M BARON

    3. Hi: Have a question. I have a family member from Hesse originally. The surname has wavered between Eid, Ayd, Eiden (1700-1800's), Eydt and Eidt, with the last two seemingly standardized as a surname now, in Germany, USA and Canada. Question is--would Eiden be a plural of Eid, or son of Eid? A German local 'genealogist', family member, and history keeper has used both names in her notes. Thanks Marilyn
