I'm looking for information on the Karsten family that lived in the village
of Stuba, now in Poland, in the 1800s. They may earlier have lived in the
Pommern area. The names I have are Henrietta Karsten (my great-grandmother),
who died around 1895, and her father, Erik Erdman Karsten. A relative also
gave me the name of a man who apparently was Henrietta's half-brother,
Samuel, who at some point emigrated to Canada. I have no details on Erik's
marriage (or marriages). Henrietta married a man named Gottlieb Schroeder.
They lived for a time in Russia, where he died, then she returned to Stuba
with their four children.
I realize my information is sketchy, but it's all I've got to start with.
