Birth, death, and obituary information is courtesy of Earl Ebach, Midland Michigan. Earl is descended through Anthony's son, Anthony Frank Ebach, b. 1841, and grandson Nicholas John Ebach, b. 1881. He and his wife visited the Huegelsheim area in 1998 and with the help of a German friend obtained copies or transcriptions of relevant records from churches in the area.
