Orphaned families

Orphaned families

There are Hutstein families existing which still have no known links to any other family like the family of Peter Hutstein 1634 in Geldern. I still assume that they are related to families from the Netherlands, which are in direct neighbourhood to this area and their surname is a transliteration of an existing, but different name like Houtsteijn, Houtstijn or Hulstein there.

Carl Joseph Hutstein, a shoemaker in Breslau, was forefather of such an “orphaned” family, too. Up to now there is no known connection to any other Hutsteiner family, but I assume that he was a descendant of the exulant Michael Hutstein, a shoemaker as well. Still I’m researching whether Michael had any surviving children out of his first marriage which could be the link here.
