My great grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman married three times. After a couple of months marriage to Victoria Harris during 1897 in Franklin County, Missouri, Parker moved to Bollinger County, Missouri to be closer to his family. His parents, Samuel and Sarah Zimmerman, lived in Dongola, Bollinger, Missouri. På marts 31, 1902, 27-year-old Parker married his second wife, 22-year-old Mellie Bollinger.
De Mosblechs har meget store familier som regel. Min oldefar Eduard Mosblech var en af tolv børn. Eduard havde fjorten børn og hans brødre havde tolv og tretten børn henholdsvis. Mens jeg endnu ikke har været i stand til at kontrollere størrelsen af de to andre familier, både mor og jeg husker det på samme måde. Grandma Ellis had
Friedrich Wilhelm Johannpeter (1839 – 1915) was my second great grandfather on my mother’s side. He died 4 months before the birth of his grandson, Gilbert P. Ellis, som var min bedstefar. Since he died before my grandfather was born, I had very limited information on him, when I started researching the family history. Grandpa didn’t have any verbal history

Rosa or Rose Elker was born in St. Louis on February 5, 1890. Aunt Rose was my great-grandmother, Magdalena Elker’s, youngest sister. Lørdag, September 22, 1906, the 16-year-old Rose was walking to her job at the Plows Candy Factory in St. Louis. Aunt Rose was walking about 8 am in the morning, when she started to cross the 18th
1909 var sandsynligvis det værste år af Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman liv. Han mistede begge sine ti måneder gamle datter Ida May Zimmerman og hans anden kone Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Før Parker død i Cape Giraurdeau Tornado af 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
På November 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 Archdiocese dedicated the church
Recently, 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 udgave af St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 af 14 Mosblech children. I had never seen a picture of my great grandparents, Eduard

I 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, when Mellie
