I'm not sure if you're looking for living family members or genealogical
info.
Irene Fahrni (1914-1992) married Reed Wellington Casto (1910-1987)
Her sister, Leatha (ca. 1918-1962), appears to have married Reed's brother,
John Elroy Casto (1904-1979)
Leatha and Irene were the daughters of Frederick Fahrni (1879-1944) who came
to America from Switzerland in 1883. Frederick's parents appear to be
Frederick Sr. (b. abt. 1850) and Elisabeth (3 Mar 1842-29 Jan 1914).
Leon Corbett Casto (1866-1944) was the son of John & Betsey (Corbett) Casto.
John was the son of Abel & Mary (Galland) Casto. John was the son of
Azariah & Hannah (Golden) Casto [WARNING HERE: There are many myths about
Azariah Casto so be careful when researching him. He was born in 1750 in NJ
and died in 1812 in Madison Co., OH. His father was William Casto
(1717-1778) whose will I have on my website:
www.castoconnections.com.]
David Alexander Casto (1906-1965), son of Leon, m. Nina Mae Simerly
(1898-?) on 20 Mar 1929 in Shoshone, Lincoln Co., ID. Walter seems to have
been born in late 1929 or early 1930.
I turned up a name on the internet of a researcher of some of these lines -
Carrie Casto at casto.carrie(a)gmail.com. I don't know if she is still using
that email or working on these lines but thought it might be helpful.
Carrie had listed as children of Leon & Lydia:
Polly Beneta
Alice Theodosia
John E.
David A.
Betsy Lydia
Bob Jerome
Bonnie Vlanda
Emory Wadsworth
Hazel Milissia
Ida Delilah
Ivan Dermont
Reed Wellington
Stanley Henry
Verla Lowella
Floyd Franklin
I had also found a son, Leon Jr., that she did not mention.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance. I'll try and upload some of
this info to the website soon.
