Seems August came to the US from Germany in 1848, through New Orleans. He wound up in St. Louis and was affiliated with what seems to be a nephew who had a brewery, and for whom Ferdinand wound up working. </p><p><br /></p><p>August had three wives! And many children, Ferdinand being the youngest. August lived from 1819 to 1891. He must have had quite a life indeed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
