Hello, I'm Karla from SC. I was wondering if anyone could do a look up for me in the census. I need to Know William Hammel's place of birth and whom his parents were and siblings.. anything if possible. Here is more info: Surname: Hamel, Hammell ------------------------- I am looking for any info on my great grandfather WILLIAM HAMEL b.sept 21, 1857 d. Nov. 7, 1936 in Stoddard co. Bloomfield Mo. he married ELIZA JANIE BARTON b. Nov. 1865 d. Aug. 21, 1928 in Bloomfield Mo. They are both buried at Zion cemetery in Bloomfield Mo. They had Five children, Julius, Mrytle, Homer, Eckla, and Mary. Eckla is whom I descend through. Another name is Leroy (Royce) Coats / Coates..I suspect he was born late !800's. He was Eckla Hammel fiance. He is my grandfather. He died in Michigan. I do know he lived in Stoodard county in Bloomfield at some time late 1800 or early 1900. Their child (my mother) was born 1925 in Bloomfield. My grandmother and grandfather never married. I'm trying to get a possible birth or anything. Can't search for his death certificate now without more info. I realize this is asking a lot for someone but you have no idea how much it would be appreciated by me and most of all my mother. She knew very little of her father. I live in SC and am unable to do research in Mo. Could anyone help. If you have info please feel free to email me. Thanks Karla
