I am looking for information on George Hesch. According to the 1870 census, George HESCH was born in Canada West in 1840. His wife Maria Heimberger was born in Prussia in 1842. They immigrated to Illinois in 1867, from there they went to Jefferson City, Missouri and later to St. Louis Missouri. They had eight children. Their daughter Mary was my great grandfather. I have been able to trace her brother Philip but I have not been able to find any more on George or Maria's parents.
