My parents

My father Josef Hutstein was a carpenter and my mother was a maid at another farm before she worked on our farm only.

A coronary heart disease was diagnosed when he was 50 years all and he had to retire. As I myself got the diagnose of a  genetical disease, the hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, probably this was also the one he had to suffer from.  

At time of retirement his life expectancy was estimated to about 2 years only. He was a heavy smoker -usually one package of ‘Mokri’ filter cigarettes a day- and he deceased early aged 56 years due to a cold he caught. Unfortunately he suffered a lot from the fact that his serious decease was not immediately visible for his friends and mates. 

Also my mother died early, aged 53 years only: a few years after a very large, visible myoma on the abdomen operation in hospital, she was again in hospital for an intestinal entanglement operation: During her stay at the intensive care unit she got pneumonia and died of it.

 

My great-grandparents

according family legends my great-grandfather Joseph Hutstein was a quite wealthy man. Together with some companions he bought a steam engine and rented it to local farms for threshing.

My aunt once told me that our desk at home was full of gold coins when they bout it. Unfortunately he then invested or was forced to invest in war bonds during World War I and finally lost all his wealth.

Together with his wife Karolina Joseph had one child: Franz Xaver Hutstein. Karolina herself had two more children from other spouses: Johann Nepomuk Eglseder, who later moved to Munich and founded an own family there, and a boy Josef Hafner, who died in childhood very early.

 

Family trees

Following posts contain some main family tree graphics of Hutsteiner families. Due to a lot of available data they are split to several post showing only first generations of families. They are overlapping in certain points.

 

First families

Let`s do some pinpointing to the first important families:

Martin and Coloman Hutsteiner turned out to be brothers, their father was Michael Hutsteiner.

About Tobias and Simon Hutsteiner in Kollerschlag it is said, that they were brothers, too. 

Finally Johann Hutsteiner in Wildenranna had been best man for Stephan’s daughter Barbara marriage. Such constellation is sometimes pinpointing to an uncle or very close relative of the groom or maid.

And all of them are connected closer together, as they again use family members of Hartl and Mayerhofer as marriage witnesses.
