This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

So, any film that you seek, should fit that description. St, Mary's Mission at The Council Bluffs was opened in 1839 and was closed by Father Hoecken in 1841. I think you need to type in a search here on Rootsweb's Fremont county site for Hoecken and for St. Mary's and thereby hopefully increase your understanding upon some of your questions.
