    Hope this turns into a great discussion area for doing German research. I have many lines from Germany from various time periods.

    I am looking for just one line. HOLZGRAFE anywhere. Ferdinand b. 1854 in Indiana; various census records, etc. say parents b. Germany or Prussia. I don't really know where to turn as uncertain who his parents were. Any advice welcomed.

    I first meet Louisa Klinefelter in Pittsburgh on 6 Aug 1857 when she marries Henry Tirrell (also Tirril), a stone cutter (think those glorious funerary statues). She was the daughter of the sternwheeler captain mentioned in Mark Twain's memoir about his brother's death.
    She was born 7 May 1839 in Pittsburgh and died 26 Sept 1878, one year and one month after the passing of her husband, in Bunker Hill, Macoupin, IL. They are both buried in a family plot in the cemetery there.

    Joan,
    Have you tried looking to see if there are any church records you might be able to search?
