My great grandfather, Sigmund Itzick Gerstein (Gherstain) was born in Iasi, Romania on 24 April- around 1864.
He moved to Focsani, Romania.
Then, to Chicago, Illinois.
Other family members in Iasi may have included a brother in law -Solomon (Sloim) Spigler.
He had a son named Leizer Josif Spigler.
As far as I know, they continued living in the area of Iasi.
Any information on these people would be appreciated.

Could any of these been called Garstein with Uk connections.?

I do have UK connections. But, as far as I know- not with the Gerstein side of the family.
I have found multiple spellings. So, asking about Garstein is not inconceivable.

They then had another makeover to Garston!
We lived next door to them in Durham Uk in early 1900s.
When we lived Lasi we were called Strulovici and Strulovitch when moved to lithuania.
