After 30 years of researching her family history, Louise Eckhardt has written a detailed and charming account of the lives of important people in her life: her four grandparents, Anna and William Eckhardt, Louise and Edward Haug, and her great-aunt, Eva Lenning. The book includes many photos and memorabilia, along with family trees for each branch, and documentation. Filled with stories of German immigrants' experiences in New York City from the late 1800s through the twentieth century, she gives us a vivid picture of her ancestors' lives.
