Tom,, Thank you very much for the useful information you sent. At this point, I do not know just how all our area Sturmans are related, but I know they are. Most of them lived in a cluster. and many of the older ones are buried at Sugar Camp Cemetery in Moores Prairie Twp, Jefferson County, IL. Also, thanks for sending information on a possible sister to William who is buried at Sugar Camp. Several male Sturmans were named William, so I have to sort them out by generations. The small town where I live here in Hamilton County has a Sturman Street. If I can help you with your Sturman research, let me know. I can send the ones buried at Sugar Camp. Shirley
