1909 có lẽ là năm tồi tệ nhất của cuộc sống Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman. Ông bị mất cả hai đứa con gái mười tháng tuổi của ông Ida May Zimmerman và người vợ thứ hai Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Trước khi chết của Parker trong Cape Giraurdeau Tornado của 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
Vào ngày 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 trẻ em. St. Louis Archdiocese dedicated the church
Gần đây, 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 phiên bản của St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 of the 14 Mosblech children.

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. Trong 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, when Mellie

Ông nội của tôi, 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. 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
Tuần trước, Tôi đang tìm bản sao cuốn Ivanhoe của Ngài Walter Scott từ thư viện cũ của ông tôi. Ông nội Gilbert P. Ellis có một thư viện mà anh ấy đã tặng tôi vào đầu những năm 1990. These books and his desk are treasures that will stay with me until the day I die. As a kid, Tôi đã từng ngồi trong chỗ của anh ấy
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. I have just recently been able to find information on the Story family, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Trong nhiều năm qua, I could not find my great-grandmother 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. Tôi
Hôm nay, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Không may, life in Missouri is 20 năm, 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. Vào ngày 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. They wisely kept
