1909 je vjerojatno najgora godina Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman života. On je ostao bez deset mjeseci staru kćer Ida May Zimmerman i svoju drugu suprugu Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Prije Parkera smrti u Cape Giraurdeau tornado 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. Mogu samo zamisliti kako je teško 1909
Studeni 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 i Magdalena Mosblech, and their 14 djeca.

Nedavno, 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 izdanje St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 od 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. Often written as Edward but pronounced like putting together aid and ward, Eduard was as unique as his name. I struggled with writing much about him because the stories I heard about him
Weeks ago, I was looking for a copy of Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott from my grandfather’s old library. Grandpa 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, I used to sit in his
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Nedavno sam uspio pronaći podatke o obitelji Story, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Godinama, Nisam mogao pronaći svoju prabaku Dollie Zimmerman rođ
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. Ja
Danas, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Nažalost, life in Missouri is 20 godina, 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. On July 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. Mudro su se držali
