******************************************************************** I think the church you are talking about was orignally the South German Evangelical Church at Jackson (Fourth) and Soulard (Lafayette). It became St. Marcus (St. Mark's) Church in 1856. In 1915 that church moved to Russell Blvd. and McNair Ave. in the Tower Grove Park area. Try calling (314) 773-5242 - this is now the St. Marcus United Church and may not be the one you are looking for. I would also try St. Mark's Evangelical out on Clayton Road (314) 721-6914. In lieu of that Dave Lossos St. Louis Genealogy site has a great rundown on St. Louis churches. One further source would be LINEAGES.COM website and look for their St. Louis German Churches marriage site. It really is a small world, afterall. I had a bunch of ancesters married in that old chuch down on Soulard Street beginning back in 1857 and in to the 1880's.
