Johann Christoph Kleinsteuber was the great grandfather of the Actinolite Kleinsteubers who immigrated to Canada. He was born in 1711 in Reichenbach, Germany and died in 1793 in Remstädt. His wife, Elisabeth Beyer, and all his children (including the grandfather of the Actinolite Kleinsteubers, Johann Michael), were all born in Remstädt.
Johann Christoph's father was Johann Andreas Kleinsteuber, and he was born in Kälberfeld in 1784, lived for some time in Sättelstädt, and died in Reichenbach.
Johann Andreas' father was Hans Kleinsteuber, born about 1660 and likely in Schwarzhausen. He married Susanna Mosengeil from Kälberfeld about 1683 (and likely in Kälberfeld), some their 8 children were born in Kälberfeld, some in Schwarzhausen, and some in Seebach.
The parish of Reichenbach no longer exists and it appears the village may have disappeared as well. The parish records are held at the nearby parish of Wangenheim. All these villages are very small.
