I live in Missouri and searching for family of Bernard (Barney) Pfeisterer. He had 3 sons Joseph, Jefferson and Jackson....Joseph was my great-grandfather. The 1880 census of Clay County, Missouri lists Jackson married to an Elizabeth E....and children Mariah, Florence, Wm. A. Milllie A and Lewis P......also lists an Elizabeth Howard as the mother-in-law. I am in touch with one person that believes Jackson is her line but I have no other clues. Just thought I would throw this out to you. shirley

My name is Lisa Budd, and I am researching my Heim and Pfister relatives.

My gg-grandpa was John (or Johann) Heim. He emigrated to the United States from Prussia (Germany) and married Mary Pfister (Phister - Pfiester), which immigrated from Switzerland. John was born about 1846 and came to the U.S. about 1865, where he lived in the Brazil area of Indiana, and later moved to Kansas. I found he and his family in the town of Clay City, Clay County, Indiana in the 1880 Census.

Mary Pfister Heim was born in Switzerland about February of 1853, and emigrated to the US in 1867, supposedly to live with family in the Terre Haute, IN area. Mary Pfister is said to have a brother named Samuel Pfister and a sister named Louisa Pfister.


John and Mary Heim had a total of 12 children: Mary, Emma, John, Rosa, Dora Anna, baby boy, Elizabeth, Sophia, Minnie, John Fred, Samuel, and another baby.

John and Mary Heim's daughter, Dora Anna Heim, married Alvin Sellens. Many of which stayed in Kansas and several moved to Missouri and settled.


Any relatives and any further information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
Lisa Budd
