Hello, I received the following message and translated it. Can anyone help this M Raul on his research. Do any of you how to contact anyone with the last name of Gerstner? Thank you Elaine McDowell Sorry I´dont speak english, then, I´ve write Spanish. In the digesto #20 of February I read the obituario of Katherine Dechant where the Gerstner last names are mentioned, it wanted to know that possibilities exist to put to me in contact with some of those people, since I have interest to find out as the family separated so that they appear those last names here in Argentina and the USA. I have some data of my great-grandfather Juan Gerstner, married with Catherine Sander that it came approximately to Argentina in 1886 with several from its children originating of Marienthal. A chance that occurs here in Argentina: in our family also a Dechant married with a Gerstner exists. I hope can connect with my parientes to me. Thanks. M.
