I'm looking for a certain family of German nobility, particualrly any information about one man: Baron Christian Von Hauxthousen Carnitz. All i have is his name, and a portrait. Does anyone know where i can find out more about this family?

Your baron might be the ancestor of at least one of them.

Bernhard

Katherine: The correct name must be Christian von Haxthausen-Carnitz. Just try familysearch.org., and it will give you a person of this denomination (plus some middle names) as born on Aug. 8, 1869 in Paderborn, Westfalia, Prussia, Germany.
Hope this helps,
Jörg
