There were several OLSZTAJN families living in the Lodz area of Poland prior to World War II. Several descendants of the OLSTAJN families would like to determine if all the Lodz area OLSZTAJN's are related to each other. Any male with the surname OLSZTAJN, OLSZTEJN, OHLSTEIN, OLSTEIN, ELSTEIN, ELSHTEIN and other variants is invited to join the project.
