1909 var sandsynligvis det værste år af Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman liv. Han mistede begge sine ti måneder gamle datter Ida May Zimmerman og hans anden kone Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Før Parker død i Cape Giraurdeau Tornado af 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
På November 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.

Recently, 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 udgave af St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 af 14 Mosblech children.

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. Ofte skrevet som Edward, men udtalt som at sammensætte bistand og afdeling, Eduard was as unique as his name. Jeg kæmpede med at skrive meget om ham, fordi de historier, jeg hørte om ham
For uger siden, Jeg ledte efter en kopi af Ivanhoe af Sir Walter Scott fra min bedstefars gamle bibliotek. Bedstefar Gilbert P. Ellis had a library that he gave me in the early 1990s. These books and his desk are treasures that will stay with me until the day I die. As a kid, Jeg plejede at sidde i hans
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Jeg har for nylig været i stand til at finde information om Story-familien, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. I årevis, Jeg kunne ikke finde min oldemor Dollie Zimmerman nee
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. Jeg
I dag, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Desværre, life in Missouri is 20 år, 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.
