This is to follow up on my promise to get more info on the Stuenkel family living in the Concordia area of MO (east of Kansas City). The Stuenkel friend I work with got a panicked look on his face when I suggested that some genealogists wanted info from him [he must have dealt with "our type" before <big grin>], but he promised to get me the email address of someone who had the goods. The message below is what I got. Hope it is helpful to the Stuenkel researchers on this list. Good hunting!!
