When I read about the floods in Germany in the paper it causes me to wonder. My ancestor, Peter Mueller/Miller left Mo. just before 1880 and returned to Germany.His wife had recently died. He left my great grandmother and her brother with neighbors in two different counties and never returned. Perhaps he went to help family from the flooding. Sometmes I see Millers with mail waiting at the post office in your posts, but I have no idea if they could be related to mine. I know that Peter Miller and Dorthula Gibboney were maried in 1865 in this county and their oldest child was born there in 1869. This is all long before the paper was published. I have not seen any mention of Gibboneys in the paper, but I have hoped that her family was from the area. My great grandmother was given to the Betzler family in Madison Co. and is on the 1880 census listed as other in family category. Her brother Thomas Herbert Miller is listed as servent on the Wayne Co. Mo.1880 census. So my family may not have stayed in the area. My great grandmother clearly recalled living in St. Marys and in Cape Giradeau, but she was a teen by then. Have you ever heard of anything that could help me find out about Germans who went back to Germany during this time frame? Or ever heard of any Gibboneys?
