Welcome to my Hartenstein / Hardenstine Family Genealogy Web Page. I have researched the Hartenstein family who in the early 1800s were living in Herschberg in the Rheinland Pfalz region of Germany. In the 1830s several siblings of this family immigrated to the United States and settled in various locations. I have been able to document the family for several generations in Germany, beginning with Mathias Hartenstein. This was possible due to research by the late resident of Herschberg, Klaus Juner. Michael Hardenstine initially settled in New York City, but later moved to Monroe County, Pennsylvania. His sister Louisa and her husband Michael Dreher also lived in New York City for a while before moving to Stark County, Ohio. Ottilia Hartenstein married Gottfried Kammerdiener. They came to New York City and remained there for the rest of their lives. Heinrich Hartenstein died in Herschberg at a young age. When his children came of age, they and their mother immigrated to Stark County, Ohio.
