Jeffrey,

I have just started researching my husband's family. He knows his family was originally from Missouri, possibly St. Louis. His father and grandfather were both Fred, born in Ohio. The name was changed around l928 from Hoerr to Herr to simplify it although this was not done legally. I have just found the death certificate for his great grandfather, born in Missouri but moved to Ohio. His name was Fred Hoerr and he was a Lutheran schoolteacher. It lists his father as Jacob Hoerr born in Germany. Please let me know if you have any information on your family in Missouri as these families may be related. .
