    BIOGRAPHY: The following information was copied from http://www.itcs.uiuc.edu/users/beaumont/HTMfiles/EHRSTEIN.HTM
    Anton was married to Christina Karcher on January 25, 1848. I have a copy of this German marriage certificate, which states that Anton was exempt from the military according to a certificate which he exhibited. Balthasar was not present at the wedding and communication was not possible with him according to the writ of Notoriety produced on the 3rd of January 1848 at the Court of Bergzabern. The service was apparently a civil service, rather than a religious one. (Does Anton's military exemption certificate and the writ of notoriety still exist at the Court of Bergzabern?)
    Anton married relatively late in life at age 27. His first child was born five months after his marriage to Christina -- a ceremony that his father, although alive, did not attend. In fact, the German certificate of marriage states that communications with Bathasar "was not possible." Given the shortage of land during this time, Anton probably did not own property while his father was still alive. Perhaps the marriage was delayed because Anton did not own land, but the impending birth forced the situation. The ceremony is also registered as a civil ceremony. Notice Christina's mother was originally an Ehrstein and there is a Wegmann family connection between Anton and Christina. (See chart.) Was Anton's father was too ill to attend the wedding, or did he refuse? Were Anton and Christina too closely related for a proper wedding, or did Christina's pregnancy prevent a religious ceremony? Did Anton's father die soon after the marriage, giving Anton the financial resources to emigrate? We may never know, but two years after the birth of their child, the Ehrstein's emigrated to the United States.
    Anton Ehrstein, farmer and stock raiser, left Birkenhordt with his wife and infant daughter, Christina. (Note that Anton's wife was named Christina, too.) The family took the ship Carrioca to the United States landing in New York on August 1, 1851 (M237, reel 102). The ship sailed from Le Havre, France several weeks earlier. John L. Pray was the ship master of the Carrioca (Paulista de Carioca, French ship, page 243, from Fast Sailing Ships : Their Design and Construction, 1775-1875 / David R. MacGregor) and he listed the name of the Ehrstein child as Fritz. Perhaps Fritz was a nickname used to distinguish the girl from her mother.
    Oral family history states that the Ehrsteins stayed in Rochester, New York until they moved to St. Clair County, Illinois. The 1850 U.S. Census for Monroe County, New York does not list any Ehrsteins, which suggests that no other Ehrstein preceded Anton and his family to the United States. However, other Ehrsteins followed Anton to New York, and several Ehrstein families still live in Rochester, New York today.
    According to Anton Ehrstein's obituary in a local German language newspaper, he and his family moved to St. Clair County, Illinois in 1853, most likely purchasing a farm in Section 22, T1N, R9W near Belleville. It is possible that Anton was either forced to work in New York before he could afford to buy land in Illinois, or Michael's birth delayed the trip to Illinois. The family is listed in the 1860 U.S. Census for St. Clair County -- Township 1 North, Range 9 West. They owned several parcels of land, but in 1857, Anton paid $2,000 to Jacob Mellein for the west half of the southeast quarter of Section 23, Township 1 North, Range 9 West (Book R-2, pg. 343-4.) The 1870 Agricultural Schedule for St. Clair County, Illinois noted that Anton owned 70 acres of improved farmland and 80 acres of woodland valued at $10,000.
    Anton died March 31, 1887 at the age of 68. He was buried from Cathedral Parish and is in Greenmount Cemetery in Belleville, Illinois. I have his death certificate. He willed a farm to each of his sons -- Michael received part of Section 34, Township 1 North, Range 9 West in Clinton County. This farm was purchased by Anton on June 23, 1883 from Lewis Osterwisch for $2,500. Joseph Ehrstein received part of Section 14, Township 1 North, Range 9 West in St. Clair County. He was required to pay his sister Christina $300 and his brother Frederich $450. Joseph married Anna Stoeckel, which is interesting because Anton's son Michael married a Stoeckel, too. Frederich Ehrstein received part of Section 22, Township 1 North, Range 9 West in St. Clair County. He was required to leave 1/4 acre as the family cemetery. This cemetery still exists today, but it is in total disrepair. Melchior Ehrstein received part of Section 22, Township 1 North, Range 9 West in St. Clair County. He was required to give Christina $300 and Fred $450. His mother Magdelena was given the house on this farm and she was to receive one third of all the crops from Anton's lands. So Melchior, a stepbrother or half-brother, inherited the family homestead where Magdelena lived until she was 85 years old. Oral history in the Ehrstein family mentions a feud that existed between the Ehrstein brothers. Could it have been caused by the contents of Anton's will?

    The Ehrstein family was next to make its way to America. They emigrated in August of 1851 from Birkenhordt, Germany in the kanton Bergzabern, District Landau in the Royal Bavarian Rhine Country. This area is also known as the Palatinate. Many Germans emigrated from this area, especially to New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Ehrstein families still live in the Palatinate near Birkenhordt

    BIOGRAPHY: I still haven't had time to convert what I have from handwritten to a form I can send, but I'll pass along a link to a written description of the history of the Ehrstein's who left Birchenhordt in the 1850's, stopped in Rochester NY for a couple of years, then moved to Illinois. I also have their tree in handwritten form. They actually can link back to the late 1700's but not far enough to link to your John Ehrstine (nor to my clan, who also came from Birkenhordt in the 1860s and stayed in Rochester. I'll send more later. The WEB link is Strangely I found it by search engine several years ago, but don't pick it up with any search engine today.

    BIOGRAPHY: http://www.itcs.uiuc.edu/users/beaumont/HTMfiles/EHRSTEIN.HTM
    Michael Ehrstein was a farmer.
    The Messenger carried his obituary: After a requiem High Mass, for the repose of his soul, the body of Michael Ehrstein was laid to rest in Grand Chain (Pulaski County, Illinois) Monday, November 8, 1920. The deceased was afflicted by paralysis in December of 1918, while at the home of his eldest son Michael, and for two years and eleven months he was a helpless invalid at the Sisters Hospital of the Holy Cross in Cairo, Illinois. He succumbed to a third stroke shortly after midnight Friday November 5, 1920. The son of Anton and Christina Ehrstein, he was born on November 9, 1851 in Rochester, New York in Monroe County. His wife preceded him to the grave in 1904. At his funeral were his two surviving brothers and his children. The funeral was largely attended -- a real tribute to the old timer. Non-Catholics alone filled the church, while St. Catherine's people stood in the aisles and on the steps.
    Three sources, Michael's wedding license, death certificate, and Messenger obituary, list his birthplace as Rochester, New York. I believe this is accurate. However, there is no proof from birth records in Rochester and there is considerable uncertainty over Michael Ehrstein's exact birth date. According to his death certificate he was born January 6, 1849. However, if Christina's birth date (June 17, 1848) is correct, it would be impossible for Michael's birth date to be January 6, 1849 -- just seven months later. Also, if the passenger list is correct, the Ehrsteins entered the United States August 1, 1851, and Michael was not listed there.
    Michael's obituary in the Messenger reported his birth date as November 9. However, Michael's family would certainly have remembered the day he celebrated his birth, and that was reported as January 6 by Michael's eldest son, Michael, on his death certificate.
    St. Catherine's in Grand Chain reported that Michael died at age 69 years, 9 months and 29 days and that his birth date was January 6, 1851. Again, if the passenger list is correct, the Ehrsteins entered the United States August 1, 1851, and Michael was not listed among the passengers, so I believe the January 6, 1851 date is wrong.
    The 1860 and 1880 U.S. Census for St. Clair County, Illinois, taken during the month of June, listed Michael as 8 and 28 years old, respectively. Michael's mother, Christina, was alive for the 1860 Census and she would have certainly remembered the year of his birth. Also, Michael's marriage certificate from St. Clair County reported his age as 26 in June 1878. These three sources, together, suggest a birth date between August 1, 1851 (Ehrsteins' arrival in the United States) and June 4, 1852. And practically, this narrows his birth date between August 1, 1851 and January 6, 1852, the date on his death certificate.
    If Michael was born in January of 1852, he would have been conceived in April, 1851. Christina would have been pregnant with him just prior to leaving Germany and three months pregnant on the voyage across the Atlantic. No doubt, she would have been miserable on a sailing ship crossing the ocean. These voyages were difficult enough for the healthiest of passengers, but they would have been extremely difficult for a pregnant woman. Furthermore, in 1851, the journey from New York to Illinois would have required traveling by boat on the Hudson River, the Great Lakes, and then the Illinois River. Maybe once they reached Rochester, New York, they decided to stay there until Michael was born, or perhaps he was actually born on the trip to Belleville somewhere near Rochester on Lake Erie, accounting for the family story that "he couldn't wait to get to Illinois so he was born on the voyage," according to Irma Huber, nee Plogmann.
    Michael married Mary Stoeckel in Belleville on June 4, 1878. She was born on December 8, 1858 and she died December 25, 1904 in Grand Chain, Illinois according to Clayton Ehrstein who lived in Grand Chain. There does not seem to be a death certificate in either Pulaski or Alexander Counties. The death was not reported in the Cairo Citizen or the Pulaski Enterprise, either. But she is buried beside Michael, her husband, in Grand Chain's Masonic Cemetery.
    These Ehrstein children were born in the Belleville, Illinois area, not in Grand Chain. However, no birth certificates exist in St. Clair County. They moved to Grand Chain, Illinois between Frederich Anton's death in Belleville on August 20, 1886 and Katie's death in Grand Chain on September 10, 1898. Anton Ehrstein died March 31, 1887 leaving Michael a farm. Michael never seems to have lived on the farm he inherited. Instead, he probably sold it to finance his move to Grand Chain were he purchased land. Clayton Ehrstein reported that several families from Belleville moved to Grand Chain around this time.

    St. Peter and Paul's Church, 720 Main Street West, Rochester, New York, found Michael's baptismal record. It says he was born January 6, 1852 and that the baptism was witnessed by Michael Wegmann and Clara Metzger.

    Description: Just a bit of trivia for you....Louis Opp was somewhat of a celebrity in Belleville. He eventually became president of the Enterprise Foundry Co. and was the Postmaster of Belleville in 1913 (don't know when he started). He resigned due to conflict of interest and Mr. Sopp suceeded Mr. Opp (that is just too funny). Anyway, he was nominated to be Postmaster again in 1922 and received a unanimous vote by the U.S. Senate. He was sent a telegram of congratulations from Senator William B. McKinley (who went on to become our 25th President and assasinated in his second term). All this information comes from the Belleville News Democrat.
