Carl Friedrich Gauss and descendents

Starting off. I have a lot of Gauss information. My family has always known of our connection to C.F. Gauss, who is a very famous mathematician, though mainly known to those studying in mathmatics, physics, astronomy, and sometimes computer science these days. It is my understanding that most, if not all, of the Gauss' in the U.S. are descended from two of C.F. Gauss' sons, Eugene(my 2xgreat gfather) and Wilhelm who came to St. Charles, Missouri in the 1st half of the 19th century. I have LOTS of information, and would love to hear from other descendents. I am off on other trails at the moment, so don't have too many questions. I have a book by G. Waldo Dunnington called Carl Friedrich Gauss: Titan of Science (1955) with a great deal of geneological info he collected from family members he was in contact with at the time. I am willing to share!
