Debbie,
I don't have specific information as to where Edward's parents are from. A family tree I found has Austria listed but the census records show Germany. The Wudi family was from Ferchenheid, Bohemia. I did find more information as to who Edwards parents were. Wilheim Fastner (5/28/1856 -May 1919?) and Adolphina (Poss. Matschina) (9/29/1858-June 1933) They came to the US in 1892-1893
Siblings (per Census) are Thriesa (Sp? - census is unclear), Anna, William, Emma, Fred, John, Rose, Margaret. Adolphina is listed as having 14 children 12 living in 1910.
Here is Edward's obit. from 1965
Chicago Tribune (IL) - December 18, 1965
The Rev. Edward A. Fastner
Deceased Name: Rev. Edward A. Fastner
Mass for the Rev. Edward A. Fastner, 71, of Edgerton, Wis., formerly of Chicago, was said yesterday in the chapel at St. Joseph's college in Edgerton, where he had lived since June. He died Tuesday at the college. A redemptorist missionary, he worked at parish missions thruout the United States. He also had been pastor of St. Michael's and St. Alphonsus' Catholic parishes in Chicago.
My grandmother is trying to get more information on Edward.
If you happen to find any information on this family please share.
