My ancestors are Wenzel Fastner (1841-1905) and Catherine Niga (1846-1941).

Parents of Wenzel are Johann Fastner and Magdalena Hany. The Fastner family emigrated from Neugebäu, Kreis Winterberg, Bohemia to Solka, Bukovina, sometime around 1848 or earlier.

They lived in Solka (or Glitt), Bukovina from at least 1848 to 1887.

On June 18, 1887, they immigrated to America, settling in Wisconsin (with a short stay in Yuma, Colorado).

In Wisconsin, they lived in Milwaukee (Milwaukee County), and near Athens (Marathon County) in Johnson Township (near Milan).

I'd like to hear from other Fastner researchers :)
