Olive Schneider and Ed Greulich both hailed from the same small town in the "Old Country." Hardheim was but six miles or so from Brietenau, the estate upon which Olive and her siblings were born. Hardheim was also the birthplace of Olive's sister-in-law, Anna Herold Schneider. In fact, when Anna emigrated to the United States in 1903, Ed Greulich was a passenger on the same ship--The Ryndam (arrived 20 October, 1903).
But Ed Greulich had originally come to America in 1887 and had gone back to Germany at least once before 1903 as his name appears on the manifest of a ship (The Lahn) arriving in NY on 12 May 1893, wherein he says he is a citizen of the U.S. On his 1913 US Passport Application, he states that he had lived in the country for 25 years and that his occupation was that of baker.
Born Eduard Greulich, he was the son of Franz Karl Greulich and Franziska Schreck.
Olive Schneider and Ed Greulich were married 16 May, 1907 in Queens, NY. Their children were:
Franz Karl Greulich
Franz Karl Greulich was born in Hardheim, Germany on 28 Mar 1841, to Alois Lorenz Greulich (14 Feb 1807--15 May 1870) and Maria Magdalena Muller (26 Sept 1811--10 Nov 1887). Records indicate that he was their only child. On 2 Aug 1868, he married Franziska Schreck (4 Mar 1845--17 Aug 1916), the daughter of Johann Martin Schreck and Eva Regina Berberich.
Their children were:
Alois Lorenz Greulich
Alois Lorenz Greulich was born in Hardheim, Germany, on 14 Feb 1807. His parents were Valentin Greulich and Anna Maria Erbacher. On 15 Jul 1840, he married Maria Magdalena Muller (26 Sept 1811--10 Nov 1887), the daughter of Johann Valentin Muller and Margaret Drutzler of Bretzingen, Germany.
Their children were:
Valentin Greulich
Valentin Greulich was born 17 Apr 1770 in Rudental, Germany, to Johann Georg Greulich and Margaretta Steffan. At some point, Valentin moved to Hardheim, where he married Anna Margretha Erbacher (23 Feb 1774--4 Jun 1950), the daughter of Valentin Erbacher and his wife,
The children of Valentin and Anna Margaretha Greulich were:
Johann Georg Greulich
Johann Georg Greulich (11 Nov 1729--4 Nov 1764) was born in Hardheim, Germany. he was the 6th child and 5th son born to Johann Valentin Greulich (abt. 1699--27 Dec 1733) of Schweinberg, and Anna Maria Kunzig (abt. 1700--aft. 1788) of Hardheim. On 16 Jul 1754, Georg married Maria Margaretha Seuffert (3 Aug 1721--25 Oct 1763) of Hopfingen, the daughter of Johann Egid. Seuffert and Maria Barbara Eiermann.
After the death of his wife following the birth of their fourth child, Georg Greulich married Margaretha Steffan (18 Sept 1742--1811) of Rudenthal, Germany, the daughter of Andreas Steffan and Anna Maria Beuchert on 4 Nov 1764.
The children of Georg Greulich and Maria Barbara Seuffert were:
The children of Georg Greulich and Margarethe Steffan were:
Johann Valentin Greulich
Born about 1699 in Schweinberg, Germany, Johann Valentin Greulich, whose parents were Johann Greulich and Anna [?], marks the earliest Greulich I have been able to trace. he married Anna Maria Kunzig of Hardheim on 30 Jan 1719 in Hardheim. She was the daughter of Valentin Kunzig and Katharina Merkert. Johann Valentin Greulich died 27 Dec 1733. His wife Anna Maria Kunzig died after 1788.
The children of Johann Valentin Greulich and Anna Maria Kunzig were:
More Greulichs
Johann Martin Greulich
Another Greulich hailing from Schweinberg was Johann Martin Greulich (27 Mar 1673--28 Feb 1739), the son of Thomas Greulich/Greulig and Angelina Agnes Baumann. Although I have not determined a connection between Johann Martin Greulich and Johann Valentin Greulich, it is interesting that he, too, married a Kunzig--Dorothea Kunzig (c. 1676--31 Dec 1730), the daughter of Valentin Kunzig (1647--1680) and Maria Otla. Ruttinger (d. 9 Oct 1706) of Hardheim, who he married on 20 Sept 1698.
The children of Johann Martin Greulich and Dorothea Kunzig were:
