    3. List, I am attempting to decipher a surname from the parish records of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Belleville. Info as follows, and I am attempting to determine the name of the Godmother. (What I want to do is find this woman in tthe 1870 census, to see if the child being baptised was living with her at the time). child: TROST, Ann Margaret born: 3 Jan, 1868 Baptismal date: 19 Jan, 1868 Parents: Leopold TROST and Mary Sondag (think it's SonTAG) Godparents: Leopold KIEFER and Margaret RENTER/HENTER/REMTER/ HEMTER??? I'm pretty certain of the 2nd, 4th,5th and 6th letters : _E_TER . The first letter is possibly R, H, or K. The 3rd is possibly H, M, N. I'm hoping that someone will recognize this pattern of letters as a surname. Thanks, and happy 4th of July to everyone, Jane Brown Pearland, TX Researching TROST, LETTER, HEMMER, ERNST, WRIGHT, WUERST, WUERTZ, among others in St. Clair Co.
