Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/10479 Surname: MAHN, LAUFF ------------------------- Do you know George MANH's decendents. I'm tracing Kathrine MAHN b.10 OCT 1872 in Prophets Town, IL (m. Henry LAUFF 20 Feb 1900) d. 19 Nov 1969. Kathrine's father was a horse/cattle trader and later the ferryman at Lyons near Prophets Town. She had a sister, Sister Euphamia, a nun in Quincy, IL (I believe). She also had two brothers: Frank, who lived for many years in Rock Island, IL; and John in and around Springfield, MO. John had a son, John, and three daughters (Alice, Angela and Hazel). I believe Alice is still alive. Angela passed away in Nov 1997 at age 102. Two of Kathrine's children, Clara and Joseph, have died. Neither my dad, Joe, nor my 94 year old uncle remembered their mothers parents' names. Do we have a possible connection?
