The names you sent were from Casper MeierOtto's brother Henry's side of the family. I found St. Joseph Church information on the St. Louis Genealogy site. I was able to confirm the Aufanger name there. Maiden name of the Meierotto children (Casper and Henry's) mother. I did not find anything else there. I am afraid the information is in the Holy Trinity records which are in German. It is almost impossible to get information from the 1850's. There was another Meierotto child who remained in St. Louis and married Ferdinand Kuesterstephan. She was a sister to Casper and Henry. Thanks again sometimes you run across something when looking for something else. A lady from St. Louis sent me some death notices for some family members but they don't run obituaries like they did back here full of a person's life and family. I guess there were German papers too but unless you can read German they are not much help.
