After my mother married my stepfather, Ernest Díaz, in 1981, he was looking for a way for us to spend time together. I was camping with the Boy Scouts, so Dad decided that camping would be an effective way for us to get to know each other. A friend of Dad’s owned property and a cabin in Greenville, MO. Táimid
Bhí mo sheanathair iontach Parker an t-íospartach de cheann de na tubaistí nádúrtha is mó a bhuail Cape Girardeau, MO, an 1949 tornado. Bhuail sé an chathair ar an Satharn, Bealtaine 21, 1949 ag 06:54 p.m. De réir 7:00 i.n., Bhí Parker Zimmerman marbh ag 74 bliana d'aois. I always found my great grandfather interesting because he led such a varied life
Mo leasathair, Ernest C. Díaz, Rugadh i St. Louis, MO ar an Satharn, Bealtaine 21, 1932. It was the same day Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane. Bhí Daid an duine is óige de chúigear leanaí a rugadh do Joseph (Josef) Diaz agus Marie Díaz Moellenberg. Dad said the family did not have a lot
Sometimes when you are researching the family history, you get an unpleasant shock. I was researching my stepdad Ernest C. Diaz’s family history in the Library of Congress database. Dad did not know much about the Moellenburgs, so I have been trying to find more information on them. While the discovery was significant, it was also a bit depressing. Dad’s
Joseph (Josef) Diaz was my stepfather, Ernest C. Diaz’s father. Ernie or Dad was the son of Joseph and Marie Diaz nee Moellenberg.

According to his death certificate, his parents were Ulalio (Eulalio) Diaz and Betty Diaz nee Ramiro. I have
In a previous article, I talked about field trips and how they enhance a homeschool education. Sa lá atá inniu, I will recount a “turas allamuigh” gur ghlac mé le mo iníon Caitlin, when she was three years old. I subtitled it “How to Leave the House with $25.00 and Come Home with $0.75.” Ag deireadh na 1990í, Naomh. Louis Zoo had
My Grandpa used to tell me that Mom and Great Grandma were close. Great Grandma could be very stubborn, so Grandpa used to send Mom to talk to her about going to the doctor, etc. I will let Mom tell you about her grandmother in her own words. Caroline better known as Lee was a woman before her time. In
Mo seanmhÚthair mór, Caroline Leah “Lee” Rugadh Ellis née Johannpeter go Frederick William Lúnasa Johannpeter, 1839 – 1903, agus Joanna Grieve, 1843 – Anaithnid, i St. Charles, MO Meitheamh 13, 1881. Bhí sí ar an dara duine is óige de shé deartháireacha, Gustav, Anna, Amalia “Máire”, Julius “Graí” agus Charles Fhreidric. Great Grandma was said to be a very strong-willed person.
Is é seo an scéal faoi 1942-44 Sráid Hebert, which is in the Old North St. Louis comharsanacht Naomh. Louis, MO. Like its neighbors, Tá an struchtúr seo le feiceáil lá níos fearr. Bhí suim acu i bhfoirgneamh mé mar go raibh cónaí mo seanmhÚthair mór ag an seoladh i 1930. Bhí cónaí teaghlaigh mo sheanathair máthartha i dtuaisceart na Naomh. Louis during his
William P. Bhí Ellis mo sheanathair mór. Unfortunately, rith sé amach nuair a mo sheanathair, Gilbert P. Ellis, was only two years old. Ní raibh mo seanmhÚthair mór a fhios i bhfad faoi chlann William. The actual information Grandpa had on him was sparse, so William was the real mystery man in the family history up until 2006 nó 2007. Grandpa had a
