Johan and Elisabeth KIRSTEN KIRSCHSTEIN
Joannes Henricus Kirsten Kirschstein was born in 1655 in Piesport, in what is
now Germany. Although the latinized version of his name appears in his birth records, it is likely that his family and friends
knew him as Johan Heinrich.
Piesport is a beautiful village in the German Alps, overlooking the Moselle river,
in the Moselle District, famous for its wines. Johan was a barrelmaker, a very important trade in
wine country. He married
Elisabeth Reichart who had been born in 1659 in the nearby village of Niederemmel. They settled first in
Niederemmel but eventually moved to
Nousseviller. Johan was instrumentel in building the first Catholic Church in
Nousseviller in 1705. Elisabeth and Johan had five children. They were Daniel Kirsch's
great-great-grandparents, which makes them the g-g-g-g-g-g-great grandparents of my generation.
