Hi, I saw the flyer concerning your genealogy workshop. I am new to genealogy and have hit a roadblock finding information on relatives from the Perry County area. I am wondering if you will have information that may help. I have already sought help from the Perry county historical society without results. Thanks
Nancy, we will try. Please send your research questions to: contact@lutheranmuseum.com
Our research team will get back with you.
Hi Carla, Thank you so much for you quick response. I am researching the family of Harold and Sophia Lorenz Graff. I know that Sophia was born in Perryville in 1900 and died in 1959. Her parents were Henry A.C. Lorenz and Abigail (Abbie) Radcliff. Abbie was born in Illinois in 1861 and died in Perryville in 1957. I have her parents names but can not trace them. Her father was either James or John Ratcliff and her mother was Minerva Marsh or Minerva Read. I think they lived in Illinois too. I don’t know if Abbie had any siblings. Sophia and Harold lived in Lithium, Mo. Harold’s father was Albert Graff and his grandfather was John F Graff, I believe he was born in Germany around1828. His wife was Elizabeth Ellis. He died in Perryville in 1876. I am new to genealogy and love it but have trouble connecting the dots. Thank you
