Hi, I did well, and got MAH COOP UN right, but I sure did a poor job on Cahokia Township!! They (locals) almost laughed me out of town. GRIN!!! Never did hear either one pronounced, and just took a stab at it. Guess 50% isn't bad. Speaking of Cahokia, does anybody know of any church records for the small Lutheran church in NE Cahokia Township? I believe it is called Trinity Lutheran and is in Sec. 12. When we were there, I believe Pastor's wife had been in a car accident, and I called later and was told all the records burned in a fire some years ago. Would there have been duplicates anywhere? My problem is I can not find the confirmation record of my Grandmother. All of her half-sibs are there, between the to two Lutheran Churches in Mt. Olive. NO record of my Grandmother, Maria SCHULTZE. The 1900 Census has the family living in Cahokia Township, 1910 Census has them in Mt. Olive Township. Grandma was born in 1888, so would have been confirmed about 1902 (+ -). Confusing as her half brother was born in 1903 and was baptised at Emmanuel Lutheran, Mt. Olive. Other kids were confirmed at spin off church (whose name escapes me). Any help would be VERY much appreciated. I have been looking for over 30 years. Sharon Buethner
