Surnames: Eischens, Eischen, Moos Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UGB.2ACE/69.240.1 Message Board Post: My great grand father Maximillian EISCHENS came from Niederpiershied Germany. His wife Barbara Krump from Luxembourg. Is there a connection between the families which spell the name EISCHENS and those that spell it EISCHEN? It would appear that they come from geographically similar areas. Also the name MOOS appears in my home area, homesteaded and become a spouse of a cousin. I have been trying to find out more about where all the area pioneer families came from and how many had prior connections before moving there.
