Before Parker’s death in the Cape Giraurdeau Tornado of 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
Dne 1908, three bishops and an abbot dedicated St. Francis de Sales Church, “the Cathedral of South St. Louis”. Built to serve the growing German Catholic population in St. Louis, the huge church would become the home to many families including my great grandparents, Eduard and Magdalena Mosblech, and their 14 children.

Ellis, lived
Eduard Mosblech is my maternal great-grandfather. Eduard was born in St. Louis, Missouri on October 24, 1884, to German immigrants Gustave Mosblech and Bertha Mosblech nee Monse. Často se píše jako Edward, ale vyslovuje se jako skládání pomoci a ochrany, Eduard was as unique as his name. Snažil jsem se o něm hodně psát, protože jsem o něm slyšel příběhy
před týdny, Hledal jsem kopii Ivanhoe od sira Waltera Scotta ze staré knihovny mého dědečka. Děda Gilbert P. Ellis měl knihovnu, kterou mi dal na začátku 90. let. Tyto knihy a jeho stůl jsou poklady, které mi zůstanou až do dne, kdy zemřu. Jako dítě, Seděl jsem v něm
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Nedávno se mi podařilo najít informace o rodině Story, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Po celá léta, Nemohl jsem najít svou prababičku Dollie Zimmermanovou rozenou
Last Monday, I was able to scratch a big item off my bucket list. I attended a Liverpool Football Club game in person. Liverpool FC came to my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri on August 1, 2016 to play a preseason game with AS Roma. My daughter Caity attended the match with me, which made the day extra special. Já
Dnes, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Bohužel, life in Missouri is 20 let, so I hope she doesn’t want to apply for parole. I’m hoping she decides to keep me around for a few more years.
