I discovered that the Furstenau name was a very common name (and probably still may be today) in that area. In the Halbstad Distrrict, Mennonite colonists to the area included the Furstenau families who came from West Prussia..

Loretta, great blog... Do you know if the three generations of famous Furstenau flautists are related to the Furstenaus of the Castle? My dad's mother was a Furstenau, tracing our lineage to Michelstadt.
