Genealogy is, or should be, a shared journey and many have shared their knowledge with me over the years.

Much of the information on Christian Sternberg's descendents is taken from a chart compiled by Sadie Miller (daughter of Annie Sternberg Miller and grand-daughter of Christian Sternberg) in the late 1970's or early 80's. The names are probably correct, but I don't know how complete they are nor how accurate the dates are. Sadie's chart says that Christian came to Texas in 1851 through the Port of Galveston. She says he died of Bronchial Pneumonia after suffering a broken femur on Sept 3, 1926. This writer, Kaye Wykoff, has attempted to confirm and update this information through public records and speaking with family members at various Sternberg Family Reunions beginning in October of 1996. When the pieces of information could be verified, it is sourced and cited separately.
In addition to Sadie's family chart, several other people collaborated with me to help flesh out my research. Even though they were descended from Christian's uncle, Louis Sternberg, their aid was invaluable in learning more about the family. Specifically these people are: Anne Mumme, Julia Mellenbruch and Bob Pfennig. They are all part of the Pfluger and Fuchs families who settled Pflugerville, Texas.
