Please look at archived threads (messages). I am looking for the ancestors of John Ferdinand Matt who married Martha Peterkeit in 1911 (probably in East St. Louis, Illinois - St. Clair County at St. Peter's Luthern Church). I have traced the Matt family in East St. Louis to the late 1800s. (I believe that were many Matts in the city of East St. Louis in the early 1900s. Particularly, I am looking for John F. Matt's father and brothers. Does anyone have a direct chain? I posted in 2001 but have had several computer crashes. Also, my email address is Pritch62269@charter.net to write me directly.
THANK YOU ALL. I know genealogy is time-consuming, but delightful! Kathleen Baran Matt Pritchett 01.21.02
