I am searching for the parents of William von Stein who died in Schubin, Prussia in 1876. He was a mason and was a political prisoner at Gradentz at one time. Who was his wife? He had one daughter with red hair who married a Russian general. He also had a son, Edward, who came to the United States in1871 to avoid the Franco-Prussian War.
Edward said he had an aunt and uncle who manufactured leather goods for the Russian army.
