Andrei Folbert was descended from a German family from Meschendorf (Meşendorf), Romania.
The initial family name was Folberth, with a "h" at the end, but due to forced political reasons it remained only Folbert.

Andrei had two brothers.
The younger brother Nicolae Folberth, worked for the Ford Factory in Romania and for just the simple fact of being German nationality, was deported by the Romanian authorities, after the Second World War to Russia, as a so-called compensation for the war damages.
After spending 5 years (1945–1950) in several labor camps in the region of Donbas, he returned to Romania trying to forget the big injustice.
Getting his old job back, he was also part of the football team of the Factory.
Weakened after the labor years, he died on the football field after he was severely faulted.

Andrei Folberth was married to Ileana-Eva Chiraleu.
Ileana was born in 1938 and like Andrei, she was also a professional basketball player.
She played for "Oradea", "Vointa Bucuresti" and "Rapid Bucuresti" where she won also the National Championship Title.
She took part at the European Championship from 1970 and the "Balcaniada".
The Romanian Federation awarded her career (1954–1972) with the "Maestra a Sportului" title.
