Hello,
My name is Cheryl Johnson, and Richard B. Ernst is my great-great-grandfather.He married Amelia Grah in St. Louis County, Missouri on January 30, 1850.A reference to their marriage is on Geneology.com, but Amelia's name is listed as Amalia Gral.She is the same person, however, because her name is listed as Amelia Grah on my great-grandmother's death certificate (Amelia's daughter, Lena (AKA Lina) Ernst, born December 23, 1860 in either Bloomington, Illinois or Missouri).Getting back to Richard, he is listed on Lena's death certificate as Frederick Berthold (Berthold is his middle name as shown at www.familysearch.org in the International Genealogical Index).I don't know anything about Richard, other than he was born in Germany.In the 1880 U.S. Census, Amelia is listed as being born in Germany in 1827.She died March 19, 1912 in Chicago, Illinois.She and Richard had 4 children; Louis (born in 1856 in Missouri, died October 11, 1909 in Chicago), Lena (died May 14, 1944 in Chicago), Frederick (born in 1865 in Illinois, died March 27, 1942 in Chicago), and Rosa (born in 1868 in Illinois).
I have further information if you want it.Do you have any birth or death dates for the people you mentioned?How are you related to Amelia Grah?
Hope you hear from you soon.
Cheryl
