M artin's date of birth is in question: His funeral card and tombstone state it as being Dec. 12, 1850. This information was sent to me by Bill Zinzli, I am us ing this as his date of birth. The date of his birth on the Kestell-Kautza fam ily tree states that it is Dec. 5, 1848. Also on this tree it states that he wa s 6 years old when he came to this country in 1856, which means that he was bor n in 1850.
