I am looking for more information on these KAISER families. 1860 and 1870 the family is living in St. Louis...then moves to St. Clair County, Illinois by 1880 The 1870 entry is weird, the entries are not on consecutive pages but I strongly believe the children belong with the first family. My ancestors - Carolina "Lena" Kaiser married Harry Valentine Padfield in St. Clair County, Illinois. The brother of Harry Valentine Padfield (Eugene A. Padfield) married Amelia Kaiser....no solid proof yet, but I believe this will be my Lena Kaiser's sister. 1860 > MISSOURI > ST LOUIS > 5-WD ST LOUIS > page 281 Series: M653 Roll: 651 Page: 281 lines 8-22, 1531- 1728, 24 July 1860 Joseph A Kaiser 51 Tobaccist H.
