There has been quite a bit of family history collected over the years. In one of the packets belonging to Verne and Evelyn Notestein, it contained correspondence with other people around the country and it was discovered that as early as 1914 Stella Notestein (who was roughly 16 years old at the time) was asking Notesteins living in Pennsylvania if they knew the origin of her grandfather Andrew. Her and her pen pal kept in touch as late as 1957 but no one was able to find information on Andrew's family during that time.

Interestingly, even Charles knew very little about his father's family. All his siblings died at an early age, so any knowledge the oldest brother Winfield would have died with him in 1898.

Jon and John Notestein both provided some family charts that finally connected the family branch Andrew came from.

Below is just a summary of information.
