Folks - My ggf Philip Frederick Seelinger's obit in 1890 stated that two sisters were living in St Louis. I have reason to believe that one of them, Philippina Seelinger, may have married and settled in St Louis. Philipine Seelinger (slightly different spelling of the first name on the passenger list) arrived in New York on 31 Aug 1854 aboard the ship Douan. The port of departure was Hamburg. She was born in Lampertheim, Germany, on 13 Apr 1833. I cannot find her in the 1860 census. Can someone check the St Louis marriages for the period 01 Sep 1854 through the 1860 census for St Louis? If found, please provide me as much information as available, in particular her married name. I know very little about my family and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Phil Philip B Seelinger

Hi Phil, I think I found their marriage as follows: Phillipine SEEBINGER and Loudwig SPOERI were listed in the marriage index, date: 7/08/54 in Vol. 7 page 12. I also looked at the 1860 census index but could not find them there. I don't know their religion but sometimes that helps. I'm familiar with Catholic marriages and if that's the case you can get a church copy of the marriage. Good luck, ED S.
