Had to reply. My gggrfa was William Stein (Johann Wilhelm Laurentius Stein) b. 1823 Prussia-Trier and a Rev. Soldier who came to Tx. and then died at 41 yrs. of age; this now was after 1860 when a half bro of his, Heinrich, came to Tx. for a visit on his way to Spain and asked Wm.'s widow to marry; she declined. The other 1/2 bro was Carl Stein. We are Catholic from that side and have always felt that the family is Jewish by Race. frances
