Genealogy posts about the Deweese, Diaz, Ellis, Mosblech, and Zimmerman families.
Onlangs, 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 uitgawe van die St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 van die 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, wanneer Mellie
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. Dikwels geskryf as Edward maar uitgespreek soos om hulp en wyk saam te stel, Eduard was as unique as his name. Ek het gesukkel om baie oor hom te skryf, want die stories wat ek van hom gehoor het
Weke gelede, Ek was op soek na 'n kopie van Ivanhoe deur Sir Walter Scott uit my oupa se ou biblioteek. Oupa 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, Ek het in syne gesit
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. Vir jare, I could not find my great-grandmother Dollie Zimmerman nee
My great grandmother Lydia Margaret “Dollie” Story Zimmerman’s youngest sister Hattie May Story was born on August 20, 1896. Hattie was Dollie’s half-sister as she was the daughter of George Washington Story and his second wife Margaret Sweat. Dollie’s mother was George Story’s first wife Malinda Davis. Hattie se ma Margaret het óf gesterf toe sy geboorte gegee het aan Hattie óf oorlede
My stiefpa, Ernest C. Diaz, my grootgemaak het, so I included his family in my genealogical research. Egter, Dad’s father, Joseph Diaz, het uit Mexiko geëmigreer en sy ma Marie Moellenberg was 'n eerste generasie Amerikaner wat uit Duitse immigrante gebore is. Finding information on his family has not been easy. Ons weet Josef se pa was Ulalio Diaz en sy ma se geboortenaam was
My second great-grandfather George Washington Story was born in August 1843 to Gilford Dudley Story and his second wife Nancy Jane Story nee Womack. George was born in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, USA. He was the fourth of Dudley’s and Nancy’s nine children. George Washington Story married his first wife and my second great-grandmother Malinda Davis on November 26, 1863,
Many Zimmermans always believed my great-grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman was married five times. Egter, Parker was married three times to Victoria Harris, Mellie Bollinger and Lydia Margaret “Dollie” Story. It was actually Parker’ sister-in-law Amanda Isabelle “Mandy” Story, who was married five times. Mandy was born in Illinois on July 16, 1877 aan George Washington Story en Malinda Davis alhoewel
My oupa Frank O. Zimmerman’s oldest brother was Robert Harold “Harry” Zimmerman. They had a four older half-brothers and sisters and a deceased half-sister but Harry was the first child of Parker L. Zimmerman en sy derde vrou Dolly. Oupa gebore sou word Mei 28, 1913. Harry is 'n bietjie van 'n raaisel soos hy gesterf het om die
