Hi Renne I have seen for some time you have been looking for the German Starr line. I have contacted two different Starr's in PA. and they informed me their Starr line changed from Starzinsky when they came over from Germany in the early 1900,s. Not sure if this will help you or not!!!!! Also, if i remember correctly Nora Tocus (ectocus@21stcentury.net) is doing German Starr research. if not, sorry. Good luck Jim Starr- Capt John Carran Starr line, Irish Quaker
