My Connection: �My GREAT GREAT
Grandma was Emma Kassell Campbell born ca 1860 - 1865 in Missouri.
�Her marriage license listed her maiden name as Cassell while
her children's birth and death certificates list various spellings.
�Kassell is the most accepted spelling. While her birthplace
is listed as Missouri, we believe that some of the family moved to the
Chicago area. �� The combination of
census information and these city directories
are being researched in hopes of finding a timeline of where Emma lived and
worked. �Born and married in St. Louis, she moved to East
St. Louis and that is where all five of her children were born. �Her
husband George Scott Campbell died in 1912 and
by 1919, she was in St. Louis. �She remain there until at least
1925. She also lived in Granite City, Illinois. �
We decided to post all the city directory information for the names that
were at least similiar to our �ancestor's surnames - we hope to find
more missing relatives. �Happy Hunting to all who visit this site.
