Hi,My husband's mother was a Steiger; her Father was Charles R. Steiger who supposedly came from Germany with his parents when he was quite small.Somehow, Rod Steiger, and we don't know how, is related to Charles.Rod came to see Grandpa Charlie, Grandpa Charlie sent him money and Rod came to try to get Ellis Steiger (Grandpa's son)to go to CA with him.Ellis didn't go with him.When Rod was married to Claire Bloom, they came to see Ellis Steiger once more.Rod had attended Grandpa's funeral in 1961, but no one recognized then, he was just becoming popular.Rod and two other men in sunglasses stood at the back of the room.Only one family member figured out who he was at a later date.Please help us find the connection and locate more of the Steiger cousins.Thank you.Margie
