Hi,
I am working on my aunt's husband's family, ESS of Breese.
Uncle Henry B. Ess was son of Henry J & Barbara Reidel Ess b. 1893 in Breese.
Henry J. was the son of John B. & Anna M Ess who lived in Breese in 1880 and John was the son of Herman and Anna Ess who lived in Breese / Shoals Creek in 1850 having all immigrated to the US OR perhaps not... there are a couple options there as to immigrations...
Anyway, I would like to know a bit more about this family and having just driven through there last Sunday and looked at the Cemetery I figure there are still some relation around.
I live in O'Fallon, IL so it is not but a hop, skip and a jump over there.
Thanks and looking for a reply,
Ruth
