I am currently trying to locate any and all information on the BEINSTINGEL surname.

Following is a brief of what I know to date and a list of associated surnames and locations.

My father; Carl BEINSTINGEL born 25 June 1938 Nijemci, Yugoslavia; came to the USA with his parents Josef BEINSTINGEL born 20 August 1909 Nijemci,Yugoslavia died 24 May 1968 Burlington, New Jersey and Magdalena HARFMANN BEINSTINGEL born 8 February 1909 Nijemci,Yugoslavia, died 4 April 1994 Burlington, New Jersey, on 17 November 1951 via Hamburg, Germany. They were married 18 November 1928 Nijemci, Yugoslavia. They settled in Burlington, New Jersey at 10 Center Avenue where they built a Homestead and lived until their deaths.

My father is the youngest of 3 children and the only son. Eva BEINSTINGEL Wallenta is the eldest and Anna BEINSTINGEL Nigl is the middle child. The information that I have at this point is all handed down from family and obtained from the Anton Reimann: OSB Palanka, 3 volumes, Frankfurt and Main 1981, pages 118 and 1247.

I can supply a gedcom file (Download a GEDCOM file of this data (21608 bytes)) for the siblings and other information that might be needed.

I have been contacted by an Austrian research group, they say they have records of the BEINSTINGEL (Beinstinl, Bainstingel, Baynstingl) family from the index of all Catholic  marriages of the City of Vienna between 1542 and 1850/1860. The records are as follows:

Jakob Bainstingel married 1713 in Vienna came from Steiermark, village Burgau, todays Austria. He was the son of Georg Bainstingel and Maria Magdalena.

Phillip Beinstingel (not sure of spelling of surname) being married in Vienna, Austria in 1740.

Paul Bainstingel married 1747 came from  Vienna.

Franz Bainstingel married 1764 came from Zwettl, 120 kilometers NW of Vienna in socalled Waldviertel (woodquarter).

I am awaiting more information on those records, but have not heard anymore about it to date. If you could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

My grandfather Josef Beinstingel was in WW II, I am told as a soldier out of Yugoslavia. He went to the Netherlands and later the family lost contact with him. He was located by the Red Cross in 1948 in a POW camp in Italy. In 1944 the family was taken to Vienna, Austria where they stayed till 1945 at which time they were then moved by train to Passau, Germany. They stayed in Passau until they came to the USA on 17 November 1951 via Hamburg, Germany.
