Here is some information I received back in 2002, but have never found any way to confirm one way or another.

I am looking for a Killian Sampson (Samson) born about 1833, who was in Springfield, IL in the 1870 census. He married a Helena (Lena) Fehr who was born 1838 in Oberschopfheim. The Fehr family also had connections with St. Genevieve, Missouri.

I though a Oberschopfheim girl, Helena Fehr, might just have married a Oberschopfheim guy, Samson? Would you check to see if you have a Killian Samson in your Oberschopfheim Samsons? Thank, John HIrsch
