Need Help finding German Great Grandmother and her branch of the tree.
Hello, I've hit a brick wall on Ancestry regarding my Great Grandmother. My Great Grandfather was Ferdinand Eberle Born on 1 Jun 1879 • in Altenstadt, Bayern, Germany. My Great Grandmother was Barbara Dillinger who I believe was born in Dillingen, I don't know the year. My Grandfather Johann Eberle was definitely born in Dillingen in 1909.
Family lore has it that in the lead-up to WWII she wrote my grandfather and, instead of telling him to come home and fight for Germany, she told him to stay in the US. The letter was intercepted and she was arrested, but because her Brother-in-law was a Bishop (Franz Xavier Eberle of Augsberg) she was sent to a convent.
Any help with where I could get started or who I could contact would be greatly appreciated.
