Hi,
I'm researching my family which intersects with the New Orleans Exsterstein/Exterstein family. Specifically, Hugh Smith married a woman named Ellen (probably nee Foley) sometime around the 1850's. They lived in New Orleans and had 7 children, two of whom were named Ellen. The younger Ellen married Theodore A. Exsterstein and they had four children: Hugh Edward, Theodore Henry, Ellen Haxel and Henry J. (The older Ellen married a William Bravender and I will post that information on the Bravender page.) If anyone has any information on this family please contact me or place a posting on this website. I am planning a trip to New Orleans and would like to collect as much information as possible before I go.
Thanks, Brinda
