Kathleen, thanks for the e-mail. We have been in California so I am just now getting to your message so I apologize for the long wait.   I think the best way to gather information on this one is through the mailing list that we have for the site.   I am sending them a cc so that someone can perhaps help you find the answer to your puzzle.   Donna Cooper, Coordinator --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Kathleen Larson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kathleen Larson <[email protected]> Subject: Barry Co., MO To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 5:04 PM Dear Ms. Cooper: I am a descendant of two Barry County families of German descent -- the Probstfelds (sometimes shown as Pittsfield and other spellings in public records) and the Schneiders.  I would like to find cemetery information about the family and wonder if there was a German and/or Catholic cemetery in use in Barry County between 1885 and 1915?  My grandmother, Katherine Schneider Kerwin, often told of her life in Monett, MO, and although born there, she said German was the language spoken at home and she did not speak English until she started school.  The use of German may explain why the last names are often spelled in exotic ways -- it may have been very difficult for local county officials to understand the heavily accented English that my great-grandparents spoke. Your site is an absolute treasure and I loved looking through it and seeing the places my ancestors called home so many years ago. Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful site and thank you for any assistance you may give, Sincerely, Kathleen Larson
