DAR Index to Taney Co,MO marriages shows following marriage record even though the spellings are not as you show or as are shown in 1910 Taney Co,MO Census Index: P. B. CARSLER(sic) over 21 of Bradleyville & Leddie FILLBECK over 18 of Bradleyville married 24 May 1890 Marriage Book 2, page 186 I don't have copy of actual Census pages but here is what is shown in Index to 1910 Taney Co,MO census for the family: Swan Township, Family #176 CARSTEN, Philip 52 -MO-Germany-TN md 1 time Lydia 31-MO-MO-MO md 1 time, md 19 yrs, had 7 children, 6 living William T. 19-MO-MO-MO son Louis F. 17-MO-MO-MO son Benjamine F. 14-MO-MO-MO son Mary 12-MO-MO-MO dau Edward 9-MO-MO-MO son Turner 3-MO-MO-MO son There is NO indication in this Index that these were step-chilidren. The May 1890 marriage shown above would work out correctly as long as the 1910 Census was made prior to May 1910, and the front page of the Index shows that Census was made 15 April 1910. I looked through the 7 Volumes of Indexes to Taney County Cemeteries compiled by Janice Soutee Looney but no record under the name Philip---only one related to this family was burial in Ozarks Memorial Park Cem. for Benjamin F. CARTEN(sic) 1896-1973.

Phillip is not listed at the time of his sister's death in December 1918, and I am wondering if he is deceased at that time. He married Lydia - married & maiden name unknown. She had children William T., Louis F., Benjamin F., Mary, Edward and Turner. They are listed as stepchildren on the census (I have been told), but have not seen the census page myself. I would be willing to pay for a copy of the entire census page should anyone have access to it and be willing to make a copy for me. Is Phillip listed in any of the Taney Co. cemeteries? I welcome any and all information on any CARSTEN member. ~gina thomas patterson~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html">BURNI NG SKY ENTERPRISES</A> ==== MOTANEY Mailing List ==== ============================== Ancestry.com Genealogical Databases http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist2.asp Search over 2500 databases with one easy query!
