The Kentucky Kleinsteubers ancestry went back to John Herman Kleinsteuber, (an immigrant to America) and his sister Friedrika, also an immigrant to America. It was believed their father's name was William.
We now know that William was Johann Christian Wilhelm Kleinsteuber, born 1819 in Ruhla, Thuringia Region, Germany.
Their direct ancestry now goes back another 4 generations to Christian, believed to have been born around 1664, and perhaps in the village of Schwarzhausen (a tiny village nestled in the hills at the edge of the Thuringia Forest)..
