Not sure if I should answer this in English or Hebrew.
Miriam/Marie Steiner b. 1839 in Bonyhad was the daughter of Yakov Kritzler and Anna Milka Esther Pollak. Anna was one of 8 children of Reichel Spitz and Avraham Pollak. I have only identified 6 of them. The oldest was Yitzchak Zekel ( father of Vaydaber Moshe Pollak) and the youngest was Hirsh Leib ( my 2nd great grandfather).
Yaakov Kritzler's father was Yochanan and his mother was Serel. His sister was Regine who married Marcus Mordecai Galandauer. ( only one of several intermarriages between Pollaks, Kritzlers, and Galandauers.
Since I see that Joseph Kwadrat is in London, I suggest you contact Avigdor Galandauer, a descendant of Regine and Marcus, ( and not related to me, or Menachem   but yes related to Reuven and Dov) who did a lot of work on this particular line. Unfortunately I don't have a contact number for him, but I am sure you'll be able to find him.
Best,
Lynn

My notes don't talk about Yaakov Kritzler, it focuses on his wife who was a descendant of the famous POLLAK family from Bonyhad (hence my connection to Rav Zekel Pollak shlit"a from Antwerp). I had a mareh mekom in my notes that might help: יעויין במאמרו של הרב אילן גרינוולד "אודות רבי אברהם יונתן ליב קריצלר בבאניהאד," קובץ עלי זכרון (גליון לה) עמ' נה.
I'm CC'ing Lynn Pollak Golumbic, Zecharia Pollak, and DovBer Kritzler to see if they have more information.

That's what they say. 
Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein  → Michael (Mordechai Meyer) Klein (your father) → Rose Klein (his mother) → Devorah Kuttner (her mother) → Regine Steiner (her mother) → Miriam (Marie) Steiner (her mother) → Yakov (Jakab) Kritzler (her father)
