Updates for Louisa Briehl Miller Ryan (1835 - 1926)

On Footnote.com, in the St. Louis City Directories, I was able to find Louisa on 27 different years from 1882 to 1921. I also found her as Louisa Miller in 1868 & 1869. Additionally, on her daughter Pauline's Death Certificate, I found that Louisa was born in Biedenkopf, Germany. I have included all of this information in her updated biography at Louisa_Ryan. (This biography is now seperated from Patrick Ryan).

Updates for Patrick Ryan (1833 - 1881)

On Footnote.com, I was able to find this Patrick Ryan in the St. Louis City Directories for 15 different years. This allowed me to trace his and the family's movements from 1864 to 1881. The 1882 City Directory also allowed me to confirm the date of Patrick's death. With this additional information, I had enough data to seperate the biographies of Patrick and his wife Louisa. See Patrick_Ryan for this additional information.

Pauline Julia Miller O'Donnell Rutledge (1860 - 1943)

I recently acquired the death certificate for Pauline Rutledge. Additionally, from Footnote.com, I had obtained some St. Louis City Directories that included Pauline O'Donnell. With what I already had, this allowed me to create a biography for Pauline. See biography.

Thomas McClurken's Revolutionary War Pension File

I recently obtained, from Footnote.com, the complete 94 page Revolutionary War Pension File of Thomas McClurken and his widow, Elizabeth. Each page is a seperate image. To aid in viewing the file, I reduced the size of the images and assembled them into a slideshow, see: Thomas McClurken Pension File. In the near future, I will create a summary of the most important information in the file and the associated pages. I also removed some, possibly incorrect, information from the biography of Thomas McClurken. I need to do some more work to straighten out the details for this individual.

William & Albert Kemps Updates

On Footnote.com, I found six entries in the City Directories of St. Louis for William. The years were from 1901 to 1911. I have added the data from these pages into his biography and links to these directory pages. Albert was also listed in the 1907 City Directory and his biography was similarly changed.

Raymond Presley Kirkpatrick (1880 - 1979)

After receiving additional information from a second cousin, I decided that I had sufficient data. Therefore, I have created a biography for Raymond Presley Kirkpatrick. Much of the information was drawn from the "History Of Oakdale Township." I am hopeful that I will get additional input from a couple of family members. If so, I will reissue the biography.

My Genealogy Resources

Recently, a second cousin contacted me and shared some unique documentation. In response, I created a list of the resources that I have used in my research. Since I created the list, I decided to share it with everyone and link it to my website. It is at Genealogy Resources.
