1909 var sennilega versta ár lífs Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman er. Hann missti bæði hans tíu mánaða gamlan dóttur Ida maí Zimmerman og seinni konu hans Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Fyrir andlát Parker í 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
Nóvember 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. The St. Louis erkibiskupsdæmi vígði kirkjuna
Nýlega, 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 útgáfa af 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. Í 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, þegar Mellie
Eugene “Gene” Ágúst Johannpeter fæddist þann maí 20, 1908, til Julius og Bertha Johannpeter. Hann var annar sonur frænda Jules og frænku Bertha. Eldri bróðir hans var Julius “Punks” William Johannpeter, Jr, sem flaug póstinn úr Lambert Field ásamt Charles Lindbergh. “Punks” was seven years older than Gene. Afi minn, Gilbert P. 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. Oft skrifað sem Edward en borið fram eins og að setja saman aðstoð og deild, Eduard was as unique as his name. Ég átti erfitt með að skrifa mikið um hann vegna þess að sögurnar sem ég heyrði af honum
Fyrir vikum, Ég var að leita að eintaki af Ivanhoe eftir Sir Walter Scott úr gamla bókasafni afa míns. Afi Gilbert P. Ellis átti bókasafn sem hann gaf mér snemma á tíunda áratugnum. Þessar bækur og skrifborðið hans eru gersemar sem munu fylgja mér til dauðadags. Sem krakki, Ég sat í honum
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Ég hef nýlega getað fundið upplýsingar um Story fjölskylduna, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Í mörg ár, Ég gat ekki fundið langömmu mína 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. Ég
Í dag, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Því miður, life in Missouri is 20 ár, 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. Júlí 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. Þeir héldu skynsamlega
