I have to save these sites for later; having our 50th wedding anniversary next weekend - two parties and over-nighters. Kinda busy this week; BUT, I also have some Struve's in our tree - lots of info on McLean County, ILGenWeb site; my grandparents (Stroh/Beck) ancestors were charter members of St. John's Lutheran Church, Rural Anchor, McLean County, Illinois. There is also a marker @ site of Heide, Illinois, just south of the church. Please stay in touch. ladybug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Klaus Struve" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 9:48 AM Subject: Re: [SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-ROOTS] Success in Lübeck Ladybug, take your pick - Stroeh : 38 individuals online, Beck : 77 individuals online, Beeck 11 individuals online, Hahn : 40 individuals online.
