Good morning List, I live in St. Louis, MO, have never lived in DC, but about 100-150 years ago, some of my father's family lived there. So, that is my reason for being on the list - looking for info on GARESCHÉ and MARMION surnames. Gertrude MARMION married Louis GARESCHÉ in about September 1895. Do not have an exact date of birth for her, nor an exact date of their wedding. Have received lots of help on this list, info which helped add details for this family, but some are still elusive. The family is Catholic and whenever I get a chance, I tell people that in St. Louis, when Archbishop Rigali was here (now Cardinal in Philadelphia), he allowed Catholic cemetery records to be put online, a GREAT help to those researching burials. And long ago, the parish records were filmed by LDS, so those films are available at the County library. I say this because I want to urge researchers in other cities to ask their church leader to do the same. It helps free their employees to do their other work and it helps us tremendously!
