Hi all- I am researching my maternal grandmother's grandparents, Fred and Margarete Jakob. I believe I have found them on the 1910 in St Louis, MO and on the 1920 census in East St Louis, St Clair County, Illinois. I also have what I believe to be Fred Jakob's death certificate in March of 1920. He and his wife had moved back to St Louis, Missouri(1435 Missouri Ave) 28 days before he died. Fred was a Butcher on all the records I have found, it seems Margarete helped run a bakery in 1910. It looks like they lived at Chouterain Ave? I'm pretty sure Margarete and their son Fred went back to visit Austria when Fred was a child, around 1900. I find who I believe to be Fred, the butcher in St Louis in 1900, and he matches up pretty well, but he is living with a lodger, and his wife and son aren't with him. I 'm basically searching for any information about the area where they lived, possibly websites of where I could find old photos of St Louis? Also, if there are any St Louis directories online, I'd love to know where they are. :) And, I have access to Heritage Quest if anyone needs a census look up from 1790-1820 and 1860-1920, I'm happy to try to help out.
