Was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what church my great grandparents may have attended when they lived in East St Louis. I'm looking for marraige and birth info, but need to figure out the Church. in the 1870 Census, they were listed as Johann A. and Caroline Repper. though their name was Ripper. They lived in East St Louis. We believe at that time, the family was Lutheran. (German) They had at least two kids who would have been baptised. John Adam b. Aug 24 1868, and Ferdinand b. Jan 16 1870. If anyone has ideas, please let me know, as I would like to try to find evidence of these events!! thankyou............

Hi List, My new-found UK REANEY cousin sent this link to me. It contains records of UK/Canadian servicemen and women who perished during WWI & WWII. Some of the records are very detailed and include the name and address of the parents/next of kin of the deceased at the time the record was generated. http://www.cwgc.org.uk/register/register.html Happy Hunting! Pam Reaney McDonald Researching REANEY & GLENN in St. Clair County.

Below is the URL for those interested in subscribing to or searching the archives of Missing Links. It used to be a part of RootsWeb.com but now has its own site. It's worth a look. You never know what might turn up there. http://www.petuniapress.com/

Thanks to everyone who wrote with helpful hints regarding the WWII registry. You're the best. Anne Constance Diamond wrote: > There is a link on the "HELP" page where you can write to the person > maintain the website about adding someone or if you have questions about the > website. > > Constance

THE WORM'S EYE VIEW: EASY DUZ IT by Beth Maltbie Uyehara [email protected] Hi. My name is Beth M. U., and I'm a geneaholic. My story's not a pretty one. I am sharing it here in the hope that it may help others avoid my pitiful fate. If you, too, are addicted to genealogy, I want you to know that you are not alone. There are thousands of us worldwide struggling in the daily battle against this cunning, baffling and powerful addiction. There was something "different" about me from the get-go. Looking back, the signs were there for all to see. Even as a child, when relatives threw old Daguerreotypes in the trash, I would fish around among the coffee grounds and egg shells and pull them out. When old letters or diaries were discovered in musty trunks, I stayed up all night reading them. Obits, report cards, discharge papers, photos of unknown people: I hoarded them all. I didn't care what kind of document it was, or who it concerned -- if it was remotely connected to "family," I had to have it. I'm making no excuses. I had a good upbringing. Genealogy certainly doesn't run in my family -- I come from a long line of people who could take their ancestors or leave them alone. Yes, there were rumors of an aunt on my father's side who "did a little research on weekends," but she covered her tracks well, and I have never been able to prove for certain that she was a geneaholic. Aside from that one suspect, my relatives were all what we call "social genealogists." For them, a colorful forebear or two were good for party conversations, to be chuckled over at family gatherings, and that was it. Not me. Right from the beginning, I was out of control. I could never stop with just one or two ancestors. Every ancestor I found triggered an insatiable craving in me for two more, and four more after that, and eight more after that. I could not stop once I got started. Eventually, genealogy took over my life. Bouts of compulsive research would leave me babbling incoherently, slumped exhausted, sometimes barely conscious, at a microfilm reader in some darkened room, surrounded by other addicts satisfying their own shameful cravings for genealogical kicks. Many are the times I've been thrown out of a library at closing time, kicking and screaming, begging for just five minutes more, just "one more ancestor for the road." It was humiliating. As the years went by, things went from bad to worse. It was an endless downward spiral. I found myself sneaking from library to library in distant parts of town, even in other cities and states, searching for the ultimate high -- that mysterious immigrant ancestor, whose identity would make everything fall into place. I hit bottom one hot August day in a cemetery in a far-off state. How I got there doesn't matter. Let's just say that after much research, I had located the grave of an ancestor who -- according to family legend -- had died in some kind of accident. As I stared at the weathered, old tombstone, wondering how I could find out how he had died, the thought occurred to me: "I could dig him up and see." Immediately, I recoiled, aghast. "Eeeeeuuuuuuu," I cried, "yuk! That's gross." That's when I knew I needed help. Since that moment of clarity, I've joined numerous genealogy support groups where we offer each other strength and hope, along with research tips and potluck dinners. And I have finally admitted, to myself and to other human beings, that I am powerless over genealogy and my research has become unmanageable. It may be too late for me. But, science has found that young family historians -- those who are, as yet, only potential geneaholics -- can sometimes stop in time. Answer these questions to see if you are in the early stages of addiction. * Home: Has genealogical paperwork taken over any room in your house? * Friends: Is genealogy interfering with your social life? Do people edge away from you at parties when you burst into tears over the 1890 U. S. census? * Family: Do your relatives' eyes glaze over when you explain your latest research? Do you find dead people more fun than live ones? * Work: Is genealogy interfering with your job? How many hours of each workday do you spend on the Internet, or checking your RootsWeb e-mails? * Marriage: Has your spouse ever asked you, "Aren't you done yet? How far back are you planning to go?" * Health: Are you starting to show the physical and mental signs of geneaholic deterioration, such as red-rimmed eyes, a loss of interest in current events, a shortened attention span for non-ancestral topics, excessive viewing of the History Channel? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you are on the road to genealogical addiction. You must not research even one more ancestor! You must stop NOW, before it's too late! When you feel an overwhelming urge to research, repeat the following until the urge goes away: "My mother found me in a cabbage patch. My mother found me in a cabbage patch. My mother found me in a cabbage patch." Good luck and God help you.

Ditto to what Bobbie said about not being able to add a person to the WWII Registry. I know of several who aren't on it. Anne Bobbie wrote: > Am I doing something wrong?

Am I doing something wrong? I went to the site and could not find my father, nor could I find a place to add him. He won the Silver Star.

Marsha I stopped by the Stehfest Cemetery yesterday. It is really sad. Almost all of the stones are toppled. My great grandparents stone has been toppled and when it hit the ground it broke into several pieces. Many of the stones were toppled off their base but not broken. I just can not even imagine why some one would do this. They would have to be pretty sick to get pleasure out of something like that. Erna
