Sorry to get in on this discussion so late, but I can add something about other Bluesteins. My Great-grandfather, Louis Bluestein(e), came over from Poland in the 19th century and settled in the Bethel, Ohio, area. Two sons, Isadore and Simon remained in the Bethel (Cincinnati) area, as did 2 daughters (Hortense Meister and ? Pollak). A third son, Frank Bluestein, moved to Covington, KY, but remained childless. [There may be others I'm not recalling at the moment.]

Isadore Bluestein had 2 sons, including Robert Bluestein who married Eva and lived in California with a son, Mark Bluestein, and a daughter whose name I forget. [I think the other son died childless in Cincinnati.]

Simon Bluestein had a son, Richard Bluestein (my father: 1914-1995), and a daugher, Norma Moss (who recently celebrated her 96th birthday in Cincinnati). Richard was born in Indianapolis and also lived in the Boston area, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Los Angeles and Scottsdale.

Going back up the line, there was a brother of the original Louis Bluestein(e) who moved to Texas. His son (or grandson?) Eddie Bluestein was a star football player at the Univ. of Texas (their first all-American) and a very popular director of Public Works for San Antonio. I believe that there is a street named after him. Eddie Bluestein had (at least) a son and daughter, both still in Texas (although I forget their names).

I gather that none of these Bluesteins are related to any of you, but thought you might like the information. I have more written down if anyone wants more details at some point.
