Raised in Montvale, New Jersey, she attended Park Ridge High School and New York University.
In the beginning with her philatelic work, Faulstich wanted to know how people communicated before preprinted government stamps, before 1840.
Faulstich spent 25 years researching the postal mail of the American Expeditionary Forces who were forgotten about and left in Siberia, from 1917 to about 1920, after World War I.
And, a very limited publication of her book was edited and published privately by her sons for the families of the Siberian soldiers she corresponded with.
Possession of her list of collections is noted in the Robert A. Segal Auction[2] 120 East 54th Street, New York, NY 10220.
