Notes for Johann Frederick Steynmets:
It is speculated that Johann Frederic Steinmetz (Steinmets) came to Austria from Germany as a child in the mid-1400's. His family left Germany at a time of great upheaval. Archivists in Germany tell us that the surname is derived from "Stein"; also its Dutch derivation, "Steen". "Stein/Steen" means "stone-mason" and it was believed that Johann Steinmetz had such an occupation. They lived in an area called or referred to as "Metz", thus the name "Steinmetz" meant "stone-mason of Metz". During this time, there was great need for stone-masons in Europe. New buildings being constructed were of stone, and mud-brick as opposed to wood.(CS)
