genealogy and family tree of OSTYN surname
Hi:
My name is Jean Ostyn Fennell and I am restarting my search.Here is some of what I know.My Grandfather was Cyriel Camiel (or K) Ostyn: He was born May 6, 1888 in I believe Roselaire, Belgium. His parents were Peter Petrus (or vise versa) both from Roselaire, Belgium.Cyriel married Marie (Mary) VanSteenkesta (sp?) who was born May 17,1886 in Lenelede,Belgium November 8,1913. They supposedly came to America shortly after; but I have not been able to find any arrival records so far.They lived in Wisconsin for approximately five years with a daughter named Antoinette being born there.They moved and settled in Nampa,Idaho where they farmed out on 12th Avenue in Nampa.They had another daughter named Florence and two sons named Joseph who died in 1943 at age 16 I believe, and Raymond (Ray) D. who was born August 28, 1924 in Idaho. Ray Ostyn is my father and he passed away July 20, 1996.He was married to Wilma Ruth Woods who died December 20, 1997.They had two sons named Darrell and Mike.Darrell is still living and now 62, Mike passed away August of 1998.My sister Marie and I were both adopted by Ray and Wilma Ostyn in 1960 and 1961 at the ages of five and four.If you feel you might be related I would enjoy hearing from you.
Thank you
Jean Ostyn Fennell
