I am looking for information for the Ferdinand Kuestersteffen Family that immigrated to St. Louis, MO in the 1840's. They were from Germany and of the Catholic Faith. Margarete Kuestersteffen was the daughter of Christian and Elizabeth Antfanger MeierOtto, she had a brother Heinrich Bernhardt (Henry) MeierOtto who also lived in St. Louis. Ferdinand and Catherine Margarete were the parents of three children. Elizabeth b. about 1855 in MO. Christina b. about 1862 and Ferdinand b. about 1867. They are not the Kuestersteffen family buried in Calvary Cemetery. My research finds them on the 1870 census for St. Louis. M. Kuestersteffen 40, Elizabeth 15, Christina 8 and Ferdinand 3. I believe the Ferdinand Kuestersteffen who died Dec. 23, 1866 and was buried in Holy Trinity Cemetery was her husband. I also found a Christina Kuestersteffen died 4-21-1875, St. Louis, no burial place. There was a Catherine Kuestersteffen died 9-21-1872. I have been unable to locate this family after the 1870 census. Elizabeth may have married after 1870. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
