Thank you, Laura, for your prompt reply on the 1865 Census. If we come to Clinton County in April can you tell us where we might access this census. Is it available in the St. Louis County Library? We will be visiting the Historical Society and the Court House. Do you have an estimate of possibly when it will be online? Conrad's Great Grandfather, John Joseph Westerwinter (or Winter) came to the USA in 1827 from Prussia. He married Anna Mary Landmeier September 06, 1854 in Damiansville and died January 25, 1889. We have hit an impasse on this ancestor, although he owned and operated a large farm in Damiansville. Hopefully he will be on this census. Thank you again, Laura, for all your great work.
