Cathleen,
I have found the public library in Keokuk to be a valuable resource when
trying to find information on ancestors. The staff there has also been very
helpful. Good luck!

Lee County, Iowa has two county seats ... one is Ft. Madison and the other is
Keokuk.
I don't know if this will be of any interest or not but I have an Aunt by
the name of Helen Mary Meierotto who is married to my Uncle . She was born
in Westpoint, IA and is now living in Fort Madison, IA If you are
interested send me your e-mail address and we can talk.

Hi again Dorothy-
Thanks for the Meierotto information. This is helping me to piece together all these names that I have heard my entire life. Fullenkamps, Vantigers, Esmeiers, etc. I've even found some Hellmans in recent reseach, do you have the History of Lee County, Iowa book? Someone from the IALEE-L@rootsweb.com sent me some copies of pages that mention some Kempkers, Meierottos, Menkes and Merschmans and one of them mentions Gerhard H. Kempker and his wife Theresa (Achelwilmes) took up quarters wi
