Tuesday, 2003.0114.1345,EST: Dear Mrs. Hurley.
Somehow or other we lost touch, after a promising start in corresponding last year;
and I'm sorry for that. My hope is that you are "still there", and willing
to resume.
Since then, I have discovered a little bit more about the Maine>California hegira;
it is clear that there was/is a connexion between Willibaldus' descendants in the two
areas.
Just to help you remember my situation, here's my line:
Lorenz{A} Kastner
Balthasar{1} "Willibaldus" Kastner
Ludwig{2} Kaastner
Capt. Anthony{3} Castner
Joseph Warren{4} Castner
Walter{5} Augustus Castner
C(harles) Richard{6} Castner
Richard{7} Lyon Castner (myself)
All of us (in this trunk/line) were born in Maine, and (with the exception of myself)
stayed in Maine. However, I have data showing that other branches/limbs of the family
tree
broke off and migrated to North Carolina, to Wisconsin, etc.
I'd be very happy to explore all this further with you,
assuming you're interested, even tho' you say that you're not
directly connected with the family. Please let me hear from you. Best regards, Richard
"Richer" Castner
