Dear Sandra,
Interesting, I have a note..As I could make out on the church register.
Antonio Meier - witness- Maria Gesina Tobben and Martin Mier marriage- 7 Feb 1861
Margaretha Adelheid Toben-witness Maria Gesina Tobben and Martin Mier marriage-7 Feb 1861
(Martin's parents Stephani Mier and Maria Eva Sandbote?)
This was at Shrine of St. Joseph Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
perhaps...Sandt? mention of a Sandt and Tobben marriage also in SLC civil records as well, but not the same couple. Earlier. 1840's maybe.
I believe my Tobben line were from Bokeloh. Maria Gesina Tobben was sister to Margaretha Adelheid Tobben, my 3GGm.
This was at Shrine of St. Joseph Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
Unsure of exact spelling of Tobben as I have seen it spelled in Shrine of St. Joseph records as Toebben/Thoeben/Tobbe/Toben/Thoben/Tobben.....and Dobben. Could be my my inability to extract the handwriting correctly as are all handwritten records.
