Surnames: Steinert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IFB.2ACE/201.1 Message Board Post: Hi Garry, I have just recently started researching my family history, and I have a great great grandfather, who's name was Nicholas Steinert, who married an Anna Ballman, who lived in the Detroit area coming originally from Poland-Germany, who then had a son named Joseph Steinert (my great grandfather). Unfortunately I don't know much about them, having just started researching, I don't know if this helps you or not, the information I have is off the back of an old picture.
