I grew up in St. Charles, Missouri. My mother was born in St. Charles; my father was born across the river, in St. Louis. I now live in Chicago. By profession, I am a librarian and archivist. I've have been researching my family's lineage since 2008. Cemetery records and visits to them help connect the dots and answer a lot of questions.
