Becky,
You sent me some history about the Steinmans and Oligshlagers last year.
Thank you very much. It inspired me to keep digging!!!
Maybe I can return the favour...
Here is a request from you on RootsWeb...
"I am looking for info on Ben and Anna Steinman
I know they were from Germany possibly they never
came to USA their son Anton b 1847 settled in MO
I would appreciate any help as I have hit a brick wall
researching this family
thanks Becky"
Are you SURE that the man's name is BEN Steinman and not Phillip Steinmann ?
If not then I think I have the whole family history figured out.
I too was researching the Steinmans (same tree) and also ran into a wall.
All that changed once I discovered that Marie Ohligshlager married a PHILLIP
Steinman.
Here is why I think this is correct. All this is based on Documents in Osage.
I had found a researcher named Margaret H. Gentges. She has over 84,000 names
in
her database. The name Oligschlager will be misspelled as it was written at the
time.
I am putting together a GED file and will send you a copy if your interested.
Let me know and thanks again for your help!!

Anton was born between 1845 and 1847 (I think everyone agrees there).
If you use this date range for Anton's birth the following census is correct.
1850 census Anton 6 he could have been 3-5 years old (based on 1845-1847
dates)(someone didn't know how to add)
1860 census Anton 14 could have been 13-15 years old
1870 census Anton 23 could have been 23-25 years old
1880 census Anton 33 could have been 33-35 years old
Anton's Mother was Marie Oligshlager.
Marie Ohligshlager's mother name was Anna Maria ( unknown last name).
Marry Hammel's sister ( Catherine) married a Wolfe. (not Wulff).
1839 J. F. Oligschlager purchase property in present day Osage Co Mo. (Frederick
and Anna Maria Oligschlager from Koblenz, Rheinland)
1840 Phillip Steinmann and Marie with kids Anna, John and Margaret immigrated to
USA. (from Koblenz, Rheinland)
1842 (Feb 17th) Phillip Steinmann filed intent for Citizenship in Osage Co Mo.
1841-1842 Wilhelm Joseph is born to Phillip and Marie Steinmann (Anton
Steinman's brother)
1842 Phillip Steinmann and family lived next door to Maria Olschleger's parents,
(Frederick Oleghslager)
also neighbors--- Wm, John Oligshlager and Anthony Knoppel (or Knuppel) and
Martin Reneke.
Between 1845-1847 Anton Steinman is born.
Between 1847-1848 Franz is born (Anton Steinman's brother)
1848 Phillip Steinmann Family were members of the Rich Fountain, Sac. Heart
Parish
1850 Census --- Frederick Oligschlager 75 Blind with Ann 73 living with son
Wilhelm's family. Next door to sons John and Frederic.
1851 Phillip Steinmann dies. Phillip wrote his Will 7 days before he died. Anton
is between 4-6 years old.
Two neighbors, Anton Knoppel (or Knuppel) and Francis Berhorst name their sons
Philip.
Phillip Steinmann and Anton (Anthony) Knoppel must have been good friends, they
named their sons after each other.

Ohligshlager) --- (St. Joseph Death records)

Ohligshlager)
1870 Census Maries Co. Mo.--- Mary Stinnon (Steinman) 70, Anton 25, Frank 23
1878 Anton Steinman marries Mary Hammel
1880 Census Jackson Twp. Maries Co. Mo. --- Mary ( Marie Ohligshlager) 77
widowed living with son Anton 33, Mary 23, Anna 10 months
I have the rest if needed. Picking the right source of information can be
trickey, with so many people having similar names.
Here is an example of how the wrong selection could have been made...
1995 letter from Viola Steinman Wolfe, list father as Anton Steinman,,",there
were two, this one born in 1845,,,The other born in 1861,
Mary Hammel born in 1857, married to this one."
Well "this one" really refered to the FIRST ONE born in 1845. The second choice
for dates wouldn't be possible !
