In the course of further years of family research in the archives of several countries, the branch of the "Stahlschmidt" family from Westphalia, which originated in Siegerland, proved to be particularly attractive and became the focus of research in the further course.This archival research and the evaluation of the historical documents form the basis for this book.Its twenty chapters each deal with independent topics such as iron and steel processing, economic relations between the Bergisches Land and Siegerland, emigration to America, pietism, etc. They show the life and work of members of the Stahlschmidt family against a historical background, such as progenitor Hans Stahlschmidt, the watchmaker Stahlschmidt from Freudenberg, Johann Christian Stahlschmidt, co-founder of the Elberfeld Mission Society, the Plettenberg merchant family Bernhard Henrich Arnold Stahlschmidt or the tenants of the former manor in Kanena near Halle, Friedrich and Gustav Stahlschmidt. -- translation of front dust jacket flap.
