My grandfather is Alois. I do not know what happened to his father after 1918. I do know that his parents were divorce after 1912 that is the year his sister was born here in America. My grandfather told us two stories about the reason they changed their last name one was because the name was made fun of. The other was that they were hiding from his father after the divorce. I think it was both. I wonder if the Ellis Island manifest said that they were Polish because that was the language that they spoke. in the 1920 census it states that my grandfather and his mother were naturalized in 1909 so I will try and find that record. Was there a Steinen in Austria? Thank you Linnea Hyder
