Re: German finds...
Guteherz? :-O I guess that could be translated as "good heart", even though it would be bad grammar. What a strange, strange name. Rüstung, too. Those are first names? I kind of like Joost, though.

Yes they're all first names. Guteherz was born 1849 in Baden-Württemberg, Rüstung was his cousin, born a few years later. The surname was Falkenhainer.On the baptismal record it was spelt Gutesherz, but on most other records as Guteherz. Once he came to America he used Guther :O
