I have just located my roots, GULDENSTEIN in St. Clair county, township of China. Melvin C. GULDENSTEIN being my grandfather b.May 24, 1911 in Michigan. Herman GULDENSTEIN being my great grandfather b.June 1879 in Michigan. Fred GULDENSTEIN being my great great grandfather b. August 1844 in Prussia (Germany).
