Korte & Block Family Connection - St. Louis

manime — 5 Jun 2008 10:29:09 GMT

In my search for the Block Family Tree in St. Louis, I have discovered an Elizabeth Block, who married a Johann Korte. They were married at St. Anthony of Padua in 1884, and I think they had 3 children. I believe that Elizabeth had a sister named Wilhelmina. I am looking for any family line -father, mother and what happened to the Korte family, if anyone knows anything. This branch of the family has become a major mystery, and I would appreciate anything!! Thanks.

Blocks buried in St. Louis

theark — 23 Jun 2001 9:23:40 GMT

I am not a Block researcher but in the course of my search for Binghams' I discovered the following Block's buried in this large Bingham Plot #648 in Bellefountaine Cemetery - St. Louis.

George E. Block d. July 25, 1900
Effie C Block d. Oct 23, 1905
Marshall A. Block d. Aug 23, 1929
James M Block d. June 18, 1931
Beatrice A. Block d. Mar 2, 1937
James Henry Block d. July 30 1965
Grave next to James Henry reserved for
Audrey Ann Block presumed still alive.

I trace the Block ancestry here back to a Virginia Bingham b. 1837 St. Louis who married a Hymen Block St. Louis. It is mentioned that George E. Block is their son.

Neither Hymen or Virginia Bingham Block buried here ---- a mystery where they went.

Hope this may help someone - also in reading the Will of John Bingham mentioned is either an Essex Block or an Essex Block as a compnay.

Block family genealogy

ChristineScallon — 30 Mar 2008 3:04:24 GMT

My grandmother's maiden name was Anna Christina Block Fenske. Her father was John (Johann)Block and her mother was Wilhelmine Jurgens. In the U.S. they lived in the Chicago, Illinois area.
I am researching John's parents. His father was Christian Block, but I do not know his mother's name. John was born in 1849 in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. in 1867. John had several siblings and several children. Is there a descendant of John or his siblings that would know about his mother's name and vital information?

Thanks,

Christine Fenske Scallon

Simon Z. Block of Powhatan County, VA

CleteRamsey — 24 Feb 2008 5:01:02 GMT

According to Richard T. Couture's 1980 bicentennial history of Powhatan County, Virginia, Simon Z. Block was summoned to court there in November 1825 and fined for having an unlawful assembly of slaves at his tavern or “ordinary.”

Was Simon Z. Block (between 50 and 60 years old on the census of 1830) a member of the large Jewish Block (also Bloch) family with roots in Bohemia?

If so, what connection did Simon Z. Block of Powhatan County have to Simon Block Jr., who is reported to have moved from Richmond, Virginia, to Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, before 1820?

Simon Block Jr. had a son named Zalma (b. ~1811, VA).

Was Zalma Block carrying on a family tradition as keeper of the St. Charles Hotel in Cape Girardeau City?

Was Simon Z. Block of Powhatan County Simon Zalma Block?

Jacqueline Ann Block

peteles — 15 Dec 2007 3:12:01 GMT

Hi All

If anyone is related to the Block family, predominantly from the Mitcham, Surrey area and possibly Sussex area, and have located a Jacqueline Ann Block, possibly remarried, born in Jan, Feb or Mar of 1944, I would love to hear from you. Hopefully still alive and well !

I will soon have a copy of birth certificate and hope perhaps someone could look up to see if its the same Jacqueline Ann Block who married a man by the name of Stephens in Croydon,Surrey in 1978? And if this is the same person who then died in 1986?

If anyone is able to assist me with details of remarriage, children since 1968 or possible whereabouts I would be most grateful and would love to hear from you all.

Kind Regards
Lesley

Stella Block m/d James J. Cousins, 1948 - 1956

asher813 — 7 Aug 2005 6:04:26 GMT

My mother's first marriage actually lasted almost eight years. She was married at home (on Corliss Street in Bath, Maine) on Thanksgiving afternoon, 1948, to James J. Cousins, Jr. Mr. Cousins worked for the J. J. Newberry Co. in Maine. The wedding announcement records that they left for Norway, Maine (where Cousins worked), following the wedding.

A handwritten annotation in my mother's scrapbook records that they lived in Norway, Maine; Brockton, Massachusetts; Haverhill, Mass., Hartford, Connecticut; Boston, Mass.; and "back to Hartford", between 1948 and 1951.

Their divorce was granted during the week ending September 29, 1956, in Hartford, on grounds of "desertion".

Stella Leonard Block (Stella McLintock), 1929 - 2003

asher813 — 7 Aug 2005 5:37:49 GMT

My mother, Stella Leonard Block (m. Kenneth McLintock, August 24, 1958), was born October 29, 1929, in Jersey City, New Jersey. Her parents were Grace Leonard (1896 - 1985) and the pharmacist Henry Dietrich Block (1885 - 1934), and she had one brother, the late Frederick W. Block (1927 - 2005).

Stella graduated from high school in Bath, Maine, in June 1948.

She was married to a man named Cousins for a couple of years; they divorced some time around 1956. Currently I do not have much information on my mother's first marriage.

Her marriage to my father, Ken McLintock, lasted until his death in 2000. I was the elder of two children; my sister Stephanie was born June 2, 1964, and died at the early age of 28 in June of 1992.

My parents were married in a Unitarian church in Connecticut. They moved to the town of South Windsor, where they would live for the rest of their lives.

I will post more information as it becomes available. Anyone wishing to exchange information about Stella Block or other family members is encouraged to contact me.

Born on Thursday, April 27, to the wife of Thomas Block, a son. Mother and babe are getting along nicely, and the excited papa is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Mr. Block is telling everybody he meets that the little fellow weighs a ton and 10 pounds, but a practical test shows that the youngster falls just one ton short of the above figure.
