Jim and Bill, I was looking in the St. Joseph Church (Shrine of) records yesterday and found several Beckmann folks but didn't write any info on them. I did find a couple of Overbeck folks: Overbeck, Maria Teresia born 20 July 1861; Dau of Herrmann and Maria Tresina BOCKRATH. Sponsors: Gerard Henr. ALBERS and Maria Teresia Bockrath. Overbeck, Hermann husband of Adelheid Died 31 Oct 1858, buried 1 Nov 1858 Age 71y --------------------- Also on this page of deaths there are the following of possible interest: Johanna Wilhelmina SEVING wife of Carl (Charles) Friederich BECKMANN. Died 6 Sep 1858, buried 7 Sep 1858; 45y. Philip son of Francis Bockrath died 9 Nov 1858, buried 10 Nov 1858 Age - 11y Catharina BLECKMANN wife of Heinrich Kornet (Also seen as Cornet). Died 5 Oct 1858, buried 6 Oct 1858; Age 27y. Maybe she should be a Beckmann? Hope this little bit helps. Gloria
