I spent some time perusing the Catholic records, and didn't find a treasure. There were several notable early Saint Louisans listed, but there doesn't appear to be an index, and the only way to access the records is to go through the new data base listing at Ancestry.com. Then you page through one page at a time. Some of the records are in French and some are in English. Names of the couple are written in the left column of each page. Under the dated statement of marriage is a listing of all the friends who attended the ceremony. Those are interesting in and of themselves, since they also give an idea as to who knew who back then. -----Original Message----- From: mo-stlouis-metro-request@rootsweb.com To: mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 2:00 AM Subject: MO-STLOUIS-METRO Digest, Vol 2, Issue 52 Today's Topics: 1.

I looked at the listing on the page and it included some states in the US. Missouri was one of them. So I clicked on Missouri and found a collection of records of early churches. So I clicked on the late 1800's and found that the cathedral records are there! I went into the records to see how well they are photographed and they look very good. The first records I saw were for baptisms in 1856 for a families named Boyle, McNabb, Kerns, Curran, etc. These are all records - not just French ones. This is exciting for people who don't have access to St. Louis early church records. I must say it was hard to find, though. http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=1111&path=Missouri The above URL is the one I used to find it. I don't know if it will work without a log in. As I said, I was searching Canada when I found them. You will need a full access subscription to Ancestry to access these files. I wish I had had more time to find out how many churches were there. If anyone else finds this treasure, please write down how you got there!!!

Could you do this? I am looking for Augusta or Gusta Burrichter in St. Louis, Mo in 1900. Her husband was Heinrich Herman Burrichter but might have gone by Henry. I am especially interested in who lived in the household, especially a person or persons with the surname of Bitter. Or maybe they spelled it "Buetter". I don't know. I thank you so much.

It shows Elizabeth's father as Francis Nonnenkamp, etc. _St. Joseph Catholic Church - Marriages from 1843 - 1853_ (http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/dettleff-marr1853.htm) _http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com_ (http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com) Scroll down to St. Joseph Catholic Church records.

I've been suspicious of the StL Nonnenkamps but have never made the connection. Mine would have been from Schlochtern, Hannover area.

The islands are currently known as: Chouteau Island (Grand Isle or Big Island); Gabaret Island (Cabaret Island, Isle de Cabaret, Cattarot, or French Tavern); Mosenthein Island; and the former Kerr's Island (Presqu'Isle, or Presque Island - I believe it's now part of Venice on the mainland). I would appreciate historical information on any of the islands, but Mosenthein, in particular. Supposedly it is named for a family that owned or lived on the island around 1900. This is a very unusual name, and only a few pop up in the St. Louis Missouri censuses around that time .... I've had no luck at all in Illinois. One source states that: "The first [rowing] regatta sponsored by Central [Rowing Club] was in 1892. It included a special match race between two oarswomen : One from Chicago and Central's Rose Mosenthein (whose father named Mosenthein Island in the Mississippi). The race boats then were mostly skiffs and flatboats, with the first six man barge not having been purchased until around 1894." [From Karl Heilman's on-line history of rowing in St. Louis. I wrote to Mr. Heilman, but he knows nothing more about Rose or the family]. Help ...............
