The Mosblechs have very large families as a rule. My great grandfather Eduard Mosblech was one of twelve children. Eduard had fourteen children and his brothers had twelve and thirteen children respectively.

1909 var trolig det verste året for Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman liv. Han mistet både sin ti måneder gamle datter Ida May Zimmerman og hans andre kone Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Før Parkers død i Cape Giraurdeau Tornado av 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
Nylig, I was searching for information about my Great Uncle Francis’ marriage to my Great Aunt Rosemary Kalt. What I discovered was an unexpected genealogy treasure, a picture in the July 5 utgave av St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 of the 14 Mosblech children. I had never seen a picture of my great grandparents, Eduard
