Dear Jean, I have written to St. Joseph's church in Peru for records, which they kindly shared with me. Their address is: St. Joseph's Catholic Church 829 Schuyler St. Peru, IL 61354-2601 (815) 223-0718 If I remember right, their records start about 1864. I was looking at the records I had photocopied, and oddly enough, there is a birth entry for Anna Margaretha, born 14 April 1869, to Caspari Freitag of Peru and Margaretha Trumpeter...This is a common misspelling of "Trompeter," which is one of my families...could we be connected?
