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.
Key to reading these records: 1880 soundex information is only available for households with children 10 years or younger in them. That is not the case for the 1900, 1910, or 1920 soundex records.
EXAMPLE:
Last name, First name, enumeration information, city, county, race, sex, age, birthplace
Kissell, Andrew - 49-47-22-8; Belleville, St. Clair County, white, male, age 56, born Hessen
I offer this soundex extraction to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Kassell families in Missouri and Illinois. I extracted this from the LDS film # 0446745.
I highlighted this first record as it is similiar to some information that I have on my Kassell family. My great great g'ma Emma Kassell Campbell was born 1860-1865, her brother, Fred, was born ca 1869 .. but both in Missouri according to all other documentation on Emma and Fred.
