As we are nearing the time of year many of you will be putting together family oriented mementos I thought we might want to do a roll call of the names we are all researching...but because this list has over 300 members I don't want to glut us all with emails. So, I thought we'd do this by alphabet over the next few weeks. If you have any surnames that begin with the letters A - E that you are researching and want to see if someone else on this list has a matching surname, feel free to post it this week. Starting today through Saturday. Then next week we will do a few more letters until we get through the entire alphabet. For this exercise it is OK to post names that connect into your St. Louis / Greater St.Louis / MO / Illinois people. That means if your grandfather or great grandfather never set foot here but his kids did, go ahead and post.... OK, mine are: (I have A surnames but they are much farther back in my line so I am not going to post those but if someone else does, I will respond) B: BECKMANN (St. Louis and Germany at least I think it would be Germany) Specifically Helen Beckmann who married Herman Gerhard Sanders. They had Margaret Catherine Sanders who was the mother of my Great Grandmother Helen Eufinger. We think the Beckmann / Sanders folks may have been from the Hannover area of Germany. C: CHEYNE, COPLAND, COPELAND (Scotland) I recently posted these on the Aberdeenshire list and got lots of great help on them. I list them here to help others if they want to trade any info on these Scottish lines. They are in the Great Grandmother categories. D: DUNN (Scotland) same as the description for C above. E: EUFINGER (St. Louis and Germany way back it is Swiss) sometimes this is seen as Enfinger or Euffinger...I have lots of data on this but have lots track of many of the living family members. My Great Grandmother was Helen Eufinger. Her family all lived in the parish now known as the Shrine of St. Joseph. This side of my family were the railroad folks. 3 generations of them. Joseph Eufinger was one of the first Eufinger's to come to the US. He came with several brothers and sisters as well as his father, Nicolaus. Nicolaus died in St. Louis in October of 1875. He came from Villmar, Waldeck, Hess, Nassau, Germany. Joseph was one of 6 children that I know about. The others were Johannes, Anna-Maria (Mary Ann), Anton, Catharina, and Elizabeth. Laura

A-ABRAM, name later became Hebron somehow. Patrick. Born in Ireland, came to the US with wife Anna/Annie PRICE (b. Ireland, possibly Galway) by way of England where first two children were born Mary Ann ( ca 1869-1886) and Bridget Maria (ca 1872-1951) married to Joseph Callahan. Patrick and Annie had four more children in St. Louis MO: Patrick John (ca 1874-1952) maried to Julia Drees, Margaret Mary (1876-1944) my grandmother married to Michael J. Finnegan, Andrew A.(1879-1957) married to Margaret O'Donnell and Catherine (1879-1879) Andrew's twin sister. AIRIS, Thomas Fergrieve (1852-1908) from Scotland to Wisconsin to St. Louis. This is my husband's side and all I have is what was written on the back of a family photo. Have not tried to research him in St. Louis yet. Not with all my Irish running around trying to hide or given incorrect information regarding their ages and birth places. BABKA, Francis J. married one of my collateral Hebrons, Madonna Clare BARTON, Michael married on of my collateral Hebrons, Genevieve CALLAHAN, Hugh (ca 1830-1875) married one of my collateral Finnegan, Mary (ca 1834-1904). From Louth Ireland according to the 1860 census. They had 7 children: 1.) Mary Elizabeth (1860-1866), 2.) Ann "Nan" (1863-1923) married John C. Fleming-1 child that I have found 3.) John J (1865-1904) single, 4.) Peter James aka Peter H. (Nov. 1867-1922) married Ellen Mulcahy-7 children 5.)Mary Agnes (1870-before 1930) married James C. Fleming who may have married the widow of Peter Callahan, Ellen Mulcahy when Mary Agnes died. Mary and James had seven children in St. Louis, 2 in Oklahoma and settled in Meridian Mississippi. 6.) Joseph P. (1872-1901) married Bridget Hebron (see Abram name), had one daughter. 7.) Hugh (b. 23 Feb 1874, d. 25 December 1874 of small pox) CONNELLY, John (ca. 1871-73, d 1938) from Ireland married to one of my collateral lines Mary FLOYD (ca 1873-1875, d. 1938) from Ireland-one son.
