McCLELLAN, Thomas, born 1867 in St. Louis, Mo., married 1889 to Mary E. MERREM (M erheim, Merhym), died 1921. 7 children all born in St. Louis, Mo. Searching for info about his parents: Father, Thomas, born in Scotland? and mother, unknown, born in Scotland? Thank you, Carole in St. Joseph, Mo.

I have been researching my mother's side of family and just remembered something she told me long ago. While living in south St. Louis as a child she had a neighbor by the name of Wilfred Moss. He used to visit, especially when my grandmother would leave the house. There were six girls inn her family and he told my mother that it was such a fun household! I think my mother was quite the tomboy growing up and possibly a daredevil, too! I believe that when my grandmother went shopping the house got hopping! If anyone has any information on the Moss family, please let me know. My mother had such nice memories of Wilfred, who I believe died in WWII. My mother's maiden name was Dalton and she and her siblings were: Mignone (nickname Chubby), Margaret, Ruth, Susan (Susie), Mary, and Madeline. My grandparents were Wm. (Butch) and Ella (Nell). They also lived in the Carondolet area, too. Diane H.

Hey Barb!!!! I have the UNKNOWN surname too!!!!!!! Maybe we can compare lines??? (teehee) Linda

The FINNEGANS FINNEGAN, Michael (ca 1809-1899) married to Margaret "Maggie" McGINNIS (and its variations) came from Ireland, possibly County Louth to St. Louis in 1868 most likely with two youngest sons Edward (ca 1847-48 to 1918) and Arthur (1849-1935). Two other sons James (died 1858) and John (ca 1843-1868) and daughter Mary (ca 1835-1904). arrived before their parents. Edward married Maria SHANLEY about 1873. Trying to find a marriage record. 8 children. Arthur married Rose FLOYD 1878. Had 8 children. These are my great grandparents. Mary married Hugh CALLAHAN about 1859. Trying to find marriage record. Had 7 children. FLOYDS Rose FLOYD married Arthur FINNEGAN (see above). She had one sister named Annie who probably came from Ireland with Rose. Two 1/2 sisters followed later, Mary FLOYD and Elizabeth "Lizzie" FLOYD. Mary married John CONNELLY who had a roofing business which is still in operation in the St. Louis area. The FLOYDS may have come from County Leitrim. Annie and Lizzie did not marry. FLOYD, Patrick married to Margaret Corbett with one child that I know of Catherine born October 1885. They appear in the Annunciation baptismal records with Rose Finnegan as godmother. This Rose may be my great grandmother if the priest used her married name instead of her maiden name. If so, I though that Patrick might be a brother or cousin. Cannot find him anywhere after this record except in a city directory. He is not named in any of the obits for the Floyds, so he may have died or is not a relative. FLEMINGS Two of Mary FINNEGAN Callahan's children married Flemings. Ann CALLAHAN (1863-1923) married John C. FLEMING (son of John Fleming and Delia Connelly) and had at least one child. Mary Agnes CALLAHAN (1870-ca1929) married James C. FLEMING (son of John Fleming and Bridget Conway). Had 9 children, 7 in St. Louis and 2 in Oklahoma. Ended up in Meridian Mississippi in the 1920s. Does anyone know why people went to Oklahoma circa 1907-1909? FREDERICK, Delia married one of my collateral CALLAHANS-Peter D. (1893-1944) Georgia

Dear Laura, A book called "German Genealogical Research" by George R. Schweitzer has information about migration routes for various time periods. I bought the book at our annual genealogical seminar here in Michigan for $6.00 but I think it costs a little more. Dr. Schweitzer was having a sale. People arriving in New York "would usually head for Ohio and the states directly west and northwest of Ohio. They would use the Hudson-Mohawk-Erie Canal route, or they would head for Pittsburgh and go into Ohio and beyond from there. By about 1850 the entire trip could be made by railroads which extended through the midwest to the Mississippi River." http://www.gensources.com/ If you ever have a chance to see him at a seminar, do so. He is informative and funny. He dresses in German clothing and uses a German accent with some southern overtones.

Steam ships / paddle wheelers are a distinct possibility. Many folks came up through the Mississippi or over the Erie Canal and down the Ohio...it was faster than stage coach or wagon. There were some Railroads in operation but the big ones were a bit later. http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/tindall/timelinf/tranrail.htm http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/tindall/ahchron.htm#1800 http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/rrhtml/rrintro.html Several Railroads operated here in the St. Louis area before and during the Civil War. (I have 3 generations of RR men in my line so I have some RR stuff on hand....I have a map of all the stations in MO from 1895. It is very old, brittle and I am going to be scanning it to preserve it in the near future). It is too big to fit on my home scanner and too fragile to try to do it in pieces. I just got it this month and have not had time to take it to a large commercial scanner yet.) The likely answer is a combination of several modes of transportation, perhaps RR, ship, and wagon/stage coach.

Laura Thanks for the web sites and your information. I am beginning to write the history and need to give some idea of how these folks would have traveled from New York to St. Louis during that period of time.
