Introductions

For those who wish to introduce themselves - perhaps say something about your ancestral connection to Missouri, and share any details about particular areas of expertise.

My paternal ancestors arrived in St. Louis between 1880 and 1910 (from Poland and Lithuania), and my maternal ancestors arrived in St. Louis between 1920 and 1934 (from Texas, and Illinois). I have lived in St. Louis my entire life (40 years) except for a few years during college.

        My link to MO is James Richard and his wife Martha.  They came from Westmoreland, county PA before the Civil War.  They had a large family in Laclede County MO.  Hope someone reads this and thinks there might be a connection or just knows Richards from this area.  I have all the info on James' ancestors back to Germany.
