On the website www.emslanders.com/index.html you can find Burrichter, Herbers - definitely go there - which mentions Stroot and Prekel. This web site lists emigrants from the Emsland region of Germany - towns such as Lingen, meppen, etc. Also go to the website www.stlcathcem.com and click on burial search. Then type in your names. You will find Burrichter and Herbers in the same plot in Calvary cemetery, down a few graves from my Linkogel family. My Theresia Linkogel had a maiden name of Schlangen, which was helena Marie herbers maiden name as well. I believe they were cousins - they were wittnesses at each others weddings. Lastly, be sure to check out the online st. louis probate court records. The actual papers - wills, settlements, etc. have been scanned and are online for you to read. Go to www.sos.mo.gov/archives/stlprobate/Default.asp and type in the last names in which you have interest. I know I have read herbers previously. The records are up to 1900. If you need a photo of the headstones I may be able to help as I will probably visit Calvary this summer. I live in kansas so I cannot help immediately.
