STEINE
A family history reconstructed from surviving records
STEINE is an ongoing family-history project following ancestral and collateral lines across generations, borders, languages, migrations, and married families. Conclusions are labeled by confidence, and unresolved connections remain open questions rather than claims.
One archive, many lines.
The project began with the Einstein–Saalfeld–Wortsmann–Silverstein line and is designed to expand across ancestral, collateral, and married families without changing its evidence standards.

Featured discoveries
A small editorial selection from the complete public evidence ledger.
Leopold’s Hebrew gravestone names his father Daniel; Bergmann independently places the family in Fellheim.
Emil’s 1887 civil death entry identifies both parents.
The municipal proceeding identifies both fathers, intended marriage, occupation, assets, and residence request.
Bergmann documented unsuccessful attempts to connect the Swabian branches. The 2026 Augsburg archive search did not recover Daniel Einstein's underlying 1722/1747 originals or identify his father. Independent Buchau evidence now establishes an early Baruch Moses Ainstein household and supports an early Moises line, making Baruch a testable candidate common ancestor, but no source-backed Daniel-to-Baruch parent-child link has been found. Repeated derivative pedigrees asserting that link are leads, not documentary proof.
