Dear Laura, The St. Louis Public Library has city directories up to 1980. If Marie was living in St. Louis in 1994 at age 71, she might have been living there in 1980. I would look at the city directories to see if you can find her with her husband. She might still be alive since she is only 80 or 81 years old. Switchboard.com shows 13 Keegans in St. Louis and 46 in Missouri. There is an M. Keegan in Florissant which, I think, is a suburb of St. Louis and there is an M. C. Keegan in Kansas City, MO If she is still alive, I would think she would be listed either under her husband's name even if he is deceased or under her initials. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm Or, try getting an obit for her sister. Library for Lee County Mississippi http://www.li.lib.ms.us/ If the library cannot help, ask if they have any suggestions. Maybe an historical society? Do you have her father's death notice? Maybe that would have her husband's name on it. Georgia Laura Edgar wrote: > I would like to find any information regarding a Marie KEEGAN born about 1923 in Beckemeyer, IL. .

Wilma lived in Tupelo MS and I checked the SSDI and did find a match for Wilma. I have checked the SSDI for a Marie KEEGAN, born about 1923, but came up with zero. Have also checked the Catholic Cemetery records online and found zero. > > Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated. > > Laura - California > > ==== MO-STLOUIS-METRO Mailing List ==== > RootsWeb forbids posting of copyrighted material without permission of the author.
