Lengerich - Hannover

Dear Patricia,

I have seen the name Maria Schroeder..as a witness to a marriage in St. Louis, MO. The date of the marriage was 4 Sept. 1860.

MARRIAGE EVENT:

Shrine of St. Joseph Church, St. Louis Archdiocesan Parish Records, Film 1870935/Page 72/4 Sept. 1860. Family History Library, 35 N West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150 USA.

"[Eadene] Franciscus Grotepeller fil [Jococi] Schmalhorst et Ida Kuhlage una cunc Theresia Bismeier fil Christian Bismeier et Margaretha Rehmschnier coram me infra scripto et testibus Petro Kuhlage et Maria Schroeder. Jos Weber SJ."

I think the Grotepeller were from Wesewe? Westphalia?..I think a little to the west of Paderborn.

Barbie.

Thank you, Barbie! Margaretha was Protestant and would have been married and
a Dedeke at that time.

Thanks again!

Pat
