I ran across the same one and emailed her. Thanks for looking out for me - all of you helping me are the "VERY BEST". Marlene (Moe) Meyers -----Original Message----- From: Melody Carter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 1:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ILEFFING-L] Effingham Cemetaries Marlene: I don't know if this will help you at all, but I was browsing the Effingham web site and ran across the following query. The name rang a bell with me so I went back to my e-mail and dug your message out of my trash. If nothing else, it may give you a lead on another cemetery to look in. I noticed there was a Meyer with your Meyers, maybe connected? Also, I have German ancestors that settled in the Green Creek area, near Teutoplis. The family members would go by both their given and middle names. For example, in a census one went by S. Caroline, on her marriage license she went by Sophia C. I had no idea that my great grandmother's name wasn't Clara when I started researching this line. Her name was Mary. The excerpt from the query follows: "I am looking for any information on Joseph Meyer (Maier) who was one of the original 12 settlers that started up the St. Joseph's Island Grove Parish, Teutopolis (Effingham County), Illinois. We are celebrating our 125 year history and would like to include him in our book. He is buried at Island Grove; his wife Agnes (Agatha) is buried at Immaculate Conception Cemetery at Dieterich. Their son John and wife Margaret was the 1st couple married at Island Grove Church and are buried at Dieterich. We know they came from Germany and immgrated sometime in the 1850's ? to New York." >From: Linda Kralman-Lambert <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [ILEFFING-L] Effingham Cementaries >Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 06:57:01 -0700 > >Marlene: > >You asked me to look in St. Francis Cemetery for the Meyers name only.
