1909 war wahrscheinlich das schlechteste Jahr der Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman Leben. Er verlor seine beiden 10 Monate alten Tochter Ida May Zimmerman und seine zweite Frau Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Vor Parkers Tod in der Cape Giraurdeau Tornado von 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
On 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 Kinder. Die St. Die Erzdiözese Louis weihte die Kirche ein
Vor kurzem, 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 Ausgabe des 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
Ollie J. Zimmerman was the third son born to my great-grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman and his second wife Mollie Bollinger. Ollie and his twin sister Dollie were born on either April 27, 1906 or April 27, 1907. Since Ollie’s headstone says “1906”, I’m going with April 27, 1906 as his birthdate. In 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, als Mellie
Eugene “Gen” Johannpeter August wurde im Mai geboren 20, 1908, Julius und Bertha Johannpeter. Er war der zweite Sohn von Onkel und Tante Bertha Jules. Sein älterer Bruder war Julius “Punks” William Johannpeter, Jr., , der die Mail zusammen mit Charles Lindbergh flog aus Lambert Feld. “Punks” war sieben Jahre älter als Gene. Mein Großvater, Gilbert P. Ellis, lebte
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. Wird oft als „Edward“ geschrieben, aber ausgesprochen, als würde man „aid“ und „ward“ zusammensetzen, Eduard was as unique as his name. Aufgrund der Geschichten, die ich über ihn hörte, fiel es mir schwer, viel über ihn zu schreiben
Vor Wochen, Ich suchte in der alten Bibliothek meines Großvaters nach einem Exemplar von „Ivanhoe“ von Sir Walter Scott. Opa Gilbert P. Ellis hatte eine Bibliothek, die er mir in den frühen 1990er Jahren. Diese Bücher und seinem Schreibtisch sind Schätze, die bei mir bis zu meinem Tod bleiben wird. Als Kind, Ich saß immer in seinem
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Ich konnte erst kürzlich Informationen über die Story-Familie finden, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Jahrelang, Ich konnte meine Urgroßmutter Dollie Zimmerman geb. nicht finden
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. Ich
Heute, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Leider, life in Missouri is 20 Jahre, 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. Im Juli 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. Sie haben klugerweise gehalten
