hello- my grandmother's maiden name was eller. she was born in vienna austria in 1887. her mother was a baroness. her father , surname eller, was cabinetmaker to the kaiser franz josef. he was born above innsbruck in the high mountains. he was indentured when he was 3 years old to a cabinet maker (needless to say- he had little info about his family other than his name - although there were supposedly other children - perhaps he was the youngest and there was nothing for him? - in any case, they must have been poor). my grandmother'sparents were banished by the emporer in 1892, and they came to america. they did not have to go through ellis island. he built many houses and those old time mountain "boarding houses" in round top new york, in the catskill mountains, using his fine carpentry skills, prior to his death, sometime around 1945. any info on this fine man or his ancestors, relatives, etc. would be appreciated.
