Hi Janice, If you contact the St. Louis Public Library, http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/obit.htm they would probably search for the obit in the local newspaper, since you have the death dates, and would send you a copy. The library in Texas did this for me, for free. Scroll down on the page to the bottom of the text, for contacting them. This website http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/ has a lot of info on St. Louis, too, including the website to the Recorder of Deeds.

For a fee, they will be able to make copies of any records they have on your son-in-laws ancestors. Since you have actual death dates for the people you are looking for, that should help considerably. > > Kay Reeves, > Cahokia, IL > > JANICEC6@aol.com wrote: > Hi Fellow Listers: > > I recently found some information on my son-in-law's Brinker family and would > like to be able to add to it if possible with some help you all out there. > > How can I find the death records/obituaries of John Bernard Brinker who died > 14 Mar 1930 and his wife Agnes (Weiss) who died 7 Dec 1935--both in St. Louis? > > I am also looking for the death record of Baltasar/Balthazar Brinker b. 1808 > in Germany and died 1872 in St. Louis.
