I have corresponded with Heir Heim in Wolfurt. He is related to the Bildstein family (and to me). My relative, Bernhardt Gantner was the son of Anna Maria Bildstein and Franz Gantner. Anna Bildstein was the daughter of Bernhardt Bildstein and Magdalena Doerler/Dorler. Are you related to these Bildsteins? I understand that Franz Gantner made church vestments. I will see what I can learn about Martin and Joseph. From the census records it looks as if the brothers lived together for quite some time. I will try to find some information about Eduard, too. So far I have found no wives or children (except for the descendants of Anna Bildstein). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
