This category is part of the Oesting Name Study. Please contact the project leader for more information.
Purpose:
This subcategory is for Oestings who resided or reside in Wayne County, Indiana. The purpose of this subcategory is to group Oesting families by location and, hopefully, connect them all to one another.
Ancestor Trace:
The Oestings currently in this category are descendants of two original immigrants:
John Frederick William "Fred" Oesting 1846-1925
Henry Frederick Oesting 1846 - 1926
The similarities between these two men and their records is such that they would be easy to confuse as one person, were it not for their separate listings in a Richmond, Indiana city directory, as well as their separate marriage records. Additionally, both have been difficult to trace to records in their country of origin.
Descendants of these two original immigrants have traveled to many other regions of the United States. Check each person's profile for their location categories.
