Hello, I'm sorry for such a delay in responding to your post.Summer is a busy time for my family.
My Bastian family, of course is a French name.It is believed they came from what is known as Alsace Lorraine, which our Grandmother wrote in her notes, was taken from France by Germany and returned to France in l9l8.
Sophia Bastian married Friedrick Appelberg in the late l840's in Chicago.It states that Sophia Bastian had atleast one brother and one sister and possibly her mother was living in Chicago at that time.I'm in the process of checking cemetery index for the Chicago, IL area.I will look for the names you mentioned and get back with you again, hopefully sooner this time.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann
