I hope I am not speaking out of turn here.....I am a bit confused (as usual) about the sequence in which I should be posting. Anyway, my father Walter E. Shepherd was born in Afton (Affton?) in 1909. When he tried to get his birth certificate during WW2 for a pilots license,there was no record. I understand that the mandatory filing date was 1909 so obviously he just missed it but I think his parents would not have filed anyway as they were farmers who travelled continuously :) My problem is this: My grandfather, Thomas A. Shepherd b. MO (county unk.) 1876/77 d. Granite City, ILL 1924 is the brick wall. .....no record of his parents whatsoever; only that they were born in the US, no names either. Thomas and my grandmother were married in St. Louis in 1906. I have the certificate and as usual, nothing about the parents. I found Thomas ,wife and children in the 1910 Phelps Co. MO census; again only US birthplace for his parents. My grandmother's family was relatively easy to find. They all settled in Trenton, IL. (Clinton Co.) and she died in E. St. Louis, IL. while still married to Thomas in 1922. My gps lived in IL, MO, OK, TX and back to IL. where they both died Family lore says that Thomas was either related to Jesse James or the Shepherds that rode with him. I remember my father telling me this when I was a child but it meant little to me at that time. Seems that may be the answer to all the unanswered questions or perhaps Thomas was orphaned at an early age. I would appreciate any ideas for a solution, as I would like to know where my paternal ancestors originated.......I am stumped after being at this for quite a few years. Thank you for any suggestions. Eileen in NY

It appears that magazine is out of business. There are copies listed as being available at numerous libraries...the second link is the information about it, showing it is a "dissolved" company. It gives the mailing address of the last registered agent for the company. No idea of that is still a valid address. If the link doesn't work let me know. I will send you the info in an email. http://www.sos.mo.gov/library/reference/union/union.asp?per=M list of all Missouri publications put out by the MO state govt. it looks like this magazine may have changed names... http://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?340641 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill and Lisa Kemp" <wjkljk.kemp@att.net> To: <MO-STLOUIS-METRO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2003 11:13 AM Subject: [StL-Metro] Missouri Magazine > Listers, especially Bob Doerr in the Beautiful Ozarks, > > Does anyone collect, or have archives of this magazine?

Francis "Frank" "Franz" Miller married Anna Elisabetha Faeth (FÄHT) in Washington County, IL in April 1860. They filed their marriage license in Belleville, St. Clair County, IL and had the following kids: Louis b. 1861 Edward b. 1863 Herman b. 1865 or 1868 Mary Catherine b. 1868 or 1865 Louise Charlotte b. 1871 m.

I am related to any and all MULDERIGs in St. Louis and California. I have even found cousins in other parts of the world through the internet. My MULDERIG connection is through my grandmother, Ellen Mulderig, who married Mike Clark in 1883. Both were from Co Mayo, Ireland, emigrating separately in 1881 and 1882. Her siblings settled in St. Louis in the years preceding the 1900 US Census. Then, the next wave (generation) began to arrive from Ireland. MULDERIG is so much easier to research than CLARK.
