Surnames: Walster Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/og.2ADI/106 Message Board Post: Looking for parents of Elizabeth Walster. Elizabeth was born Sept. 1, 1852 in Millstadt, St. Clair Co., IL. The family later moved to Randoph Co. where she married John M. Layne. I found a Nicholas Walster on the 1860 census of Randolph Co. IL with an Elizabeth born in 1852 and several brothers and sisters. I'm not sure if this is the Elizabeth I am looking for because the funeral home records list her father as Martin Walster and also having only one brother whose name wasn't on the census. Could Martin have been a middle name or a nickname? If anyone knows anything about this family, please contact me. Thank you. Candy
