Re: ERBE, Maria; DEU > St. Louis, MO,USA; 1882 Looking for information on Maria Erbe. Maria emigrated to the United States abt 1881-2. She states she is from Bavaria. She married Geoge Weber, St. Louis, MO in November of 1883, children: George L, Otto F., William, Molly, Lucille (Louise Helen) I would really like to know where would I most likely find this surname Erbe in Bavaria? It is my guess she arrived in St. Louis, MO..single. I am also interested in any background information on how German immigrants ended up in St. Louis...as opposed to some other place...and why they would have left at this time. Many thanks Barbara Haney Martinez, Fairbanks, Alaska <mlm@mosquitonet.com>
