Their daighter Wilhemina was baptized at St. Damian's Catholic Church in Damiansville. I would love to find out the names of their parents. I am happy to share. Julie

Hopefully Jansen and Kampschrader descendants will reply also. Like you, I didn't see their marriage in http://www.sos.state.il.us/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html Our neighboring Washington County only has marriages recorded through 1858 in that data base. Have you found his immigration ship manifest - any chance they were already married even if she was just 16 or 17? Have you considered sending an email/letter to the St. Damian's church since you know Wilhemina was baptized there? Their email and snail mail addresses are at http://www.diobelle.org/parishes/bycounty.html A small donation to the church for their time/copying (?) would probably not be refused.
