I've never heard of Centreville Station. > Denise Thank you, Denise, for this information. But I am really confused then, as all of my records have both names listed together. Does that mean that Millstadt is in Centreville Twp then? The 1808 map I have of Illinois shows a Centreville Sta. just south east of St. Louis. It's also on the 1875 Illinois map found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875/STCLAIR.JPG in the Cahokia (?) Twp. Now that I am looking at the above map in detail, I guess that Centreville Twp is what is meant when the records I've been sent have listed Millstadt and Centreville together. But why would they be offended about the mix up? Are there hard feelings between the towns? For the the person looking for Centreville Twp, go to the url listed above and you will find it in green southeast of St. Louis. Thanx for the reason to reconfirm my information! I like to have this stuff as clear as possible! :0) Sincerely, Sonia

Millstadt is a German Town about 10 miles up the hill from Centerville Carol
