<p>Hi, I'm Mary Farrelly and live in Whangarei, New Zealand. I recently discovered that great great grandparents, Henry and Marjorie (Margery) Goodfellow, emigrated to St Louis from Co Cavan, Ireland around 1862, along with most of their family. I think the only person who didn't emigrate to the US was my great grandmother, already married to my g.g. grandfather - they emigrated here to New Zealand in 1874.</p>

<p>My name is Michelle and my connection to St Louis is through my 3x Great Grandfather, Louis Snowden. According to his death certificate, Louis was born in St Louis USA in 1823, and had been in the Victorian (Australia) colonies 23 yrs at the time of his death in 1879, giving an emigration date of about 1856. Louis is my 'brick wall' so any help to find further info on him and his family would be most welcome.</p>

Hi, my name is Dave and about 5/8 of my family came over from Germany in the middle 1800s, went straight to St. Louis, and stayed there. My family names are: Piening(Pining/Pienieng), Huber, Geisler, Kimmling, Wolfroth, Ratz, Felhauer, Pohl, Meier, Hickelheim, Strattman, Widmann(started in Mascoutah), and Lavignon (OK that one's French).<br />
I'm also interested in any info anyone has about the north side neighborhood informally named "Butchertown" in the later part of the nineteenth century.<br />
Thanks!

My name is Meredith and I'm researching my 2x and 3xgreat grandparents on my father's side who settled in St. Louis after arriving in the US from Russia.<br />
<br />
Specifically, I am interested in the Cohn, Fisher, Lasky, and Schultz families. Benjamin and Sarah Cohn, Abraham and Sarah Fisher, and Samuel and Kate/Gertrude Lasky all came over in the 1880s - 1890s.

Most of my family lines begin in St. Louis in the 1850's. I have the Irish side: Britton, Connell, Halloran (Holloran), Hand, Moriarty, Murphy, O'Connell. Pretty much all of them lived in North St. Louis from the 1850's on. I have been systematically going through Catholic church records looking for anything on these family names. I have a database of births and marriages. If you share any of these surnames, email me and I will look in my database for information.<br />

Hi Ellen,<br />
<br />
I recognize your name from some help you gave me in the past. I was Patricia Trecker from WI at that time. I am now Patricia Hefferon. My oldest relative was John (Thomas) King. His wife died with the birth of his 2nd son, Martin, my Great Great Grandfather. He left the children with relatives in Galway and came into St. Louis. The older son, Edward (Jerome) came first. Martin came at age 15 as a stowaway about 1851. Don't know where the father lived but they were Irish and lived in…
Hi Ellen,<br />
<br />
I recognize your name from some help you gave me in the past. I was Patricia Trecker from WI at that time. I am now Patricia Hefferon. My oldest relative was John (Thomas) King. His wife died with the birth of his 2nd son, Martin, my Great Great Grandfather. He left the children with relatives in Galway and came into St. Louis. The older son, Edward (Jerome) came first. Martin came at age 15 as a stowaway about 1851. Don't know where the father lived but they were Irish and lived in St. Louis. Martin was sent back to Ireland as the Civil War was brewing. He returned in abt. 1855 and I believe he worked on the railroad in Iowa. It is said that his marriage to Catherine Curran (Sligo) took place in St. Louis in 1869 or 1871. Son Thomas was born in Missouri about 1871 or 1872. Any help you could give me on tracing this family in "Irish" St. Louis. I particularly would like to find the marriage record and have been told by the State that it doesn't exist. Good to re-connect with you. Pat
