In August, 2023, Matt Werner and his father Dr. Milt Werner went back to the village where Milt's grandparents lived before moving to the US in 1906. Back then it was called Steinau, Austria. Today it is called Nowy Kamień in Eastern Poland.

During their trip, Matt & Milt met with locals, including their guide and translator Jola Oczkowska and local historical society (http://www.tpkamien.pl/) president Józef Czubat.
To see if you're related, Milt is descended from this line: Johan Philipp Lohrfink (1850-1912) - Philip Lorfing (1880-1945) - Matilda Lorfing Werner (1921-2006) - Milt Werner (b. 1947).
There are other relatives in our family tree who also lived in Steinau, including Elizabeth Gunther (1861-1923) and Barbara Herold Lorfing (1884-1953).
Note that those descended from the 5 Lorfing brothers (Philip, Henry, George, Mathias, and Jacob) who emigrated from Steinau to Lavaca County, Texas have the last name Lorfing. The New York side of the family has kept the original last name spelling: Lohrfink.
We thank my dad's cousin Jake Lorfing for pointing us to the exact location of this village: • Steinau, Austria - Nowy Kamien, Poland
