Herman Asher household, 1940, St. Louis City, Missouri

Located the 1940 census record of the Herman Asher household in St. Louis City, Missouri.  Herman's wife, Jessie, was my maternal 3rd cousin 4 times removed.  Our common ancestors were Alexander Crockett and Elizabeth Watkins.  Jessie's parents were Joel Benjamin Byers and Ellen Elizabeth Carpenter.

1940 U.S. Census, Saint Louis City, population schedule, Ward 8, enumeration district (ED) 96-181, SD 11, sheet 61A, household 412, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 8 January 2017); National Archives, Washington D.C..

At the time of the enumeration, Herman and his wife were living in Ward 8 of the city.  The census states that Herman rents his home and that the rent was $8 per month.  Herman was 55 years old and born in Missouri.  His wife, Jessie, was 53 years old and also born in Missouri.  In 1935, their residence was the same place.

The record didn't show that Herman had completed any level of education, but showed that Jessie had completed the 6th grade.  Herman's occupation was listed as mechanic repairman at a garage and Jessie didn't have any occupation listed.

Also living in the household was their daughter, Helen A., age 18, born in Missouri who had completed 3 years of high school.

According to my database, there were additional children in the family not living with them in 1940: Orville, Frank, Alice, Myrtle and Ruby.

If you have any additional information or are connected to this family, I'd love to hear from you.

Marriage Record : David Sherick and Margaret Rosenberger, 1884, Seneca County, Ohio

"Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-2013," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XDLH-KF3 : accessed 9 August 2015), David Sherick and Margaret Rosenberger, 29 Apr 1884; citing Seneca, Ohio, United States, reference ; county courthouses, Ohio; FHL microfilm 388,639.

Located the marriage record of my paternal 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick, to his 3rd wife, Mrs. Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger.  Their marriage took place on April 29, 1884 in Seneca County, Ohio.  Prior to this find I did not have an exact date or location of their marriage in my database.

David was 58 years old and Margaret was 49 years old, both were widowers. Margaret's husband Anthony David Rosenberger had died October 27, 1879 and David's 2nd wife Amy Byers had died December 30, 1883.

Margaret was the daughter of Barney and Sarah (________) Zimmerman.  David was the son of  David and Eve (_________) Sherick.

David's occupation in the census records listed him alternatively as a farmer and a minister.

Cousin bait : Calmbach

A cousin bait posting on the Calmbach line brought me an email from cousin Linda, who descends from Jacob, brother of my Magdalena Calmbach (1640-1722).  Jacob and Magdalena were the children of Hans Calmbach and wife Christena.

Linda's line is : 


Jacob Calmbach (1640) and Maria Christina (1614)
Michael Kalmbach (1672) and Maria Braun (1672)
Jakobus Kalmbach (1699) and Katharina Seeger (1723)

Matthias Kalmbach (1874) and Katharina Sauter (1880)
Emanuel Kalmbach (1902) and Katharina Ruff (1905)   

While my line is:

Magdalena Calmbach (1640) and Anton Schwartz (1637)
Magdalena Schwartz (1676) and Martin ________
Maria Schwartz (1713) and Jacob Stickel (1708)
Jacob Stickel (1742) and Anna Maria ________ (1742)
Mary Stickel (1768) and Abraham Byers (1771)
Barbara Byers (1798) and David Jacobs (1796)
Susan Jacobs (1825) and David Sherrick (1823)
Mary Jane Sherrick (1844) and George Washington Haley (1840)
Eli Weldon Haley (1866) and Cora Belle Metzner (1868)
Ruth Pauline Haley (1911) and Ord Wehrly LeMaster (1906)

This line is so far removed from me and I haven't done any original research, so I do not know how accurate it is.  The family was from the Egenhausen, Würrtemberg area.  Very little is sourced, so anyone with a connection or corrections, please respond.
