My brick wall is the birthplace and parents of Peter Christ, born 1 March 1824 in Bavaria, Germany. I believe his family was Catholic. I located Peter in a household in the 1850 St. Louis, MO census. Following is the listing: Martin Christ, age 33, birthplace Bavaria, Magdalena, age 26, birthplace Bavaria, Peter, age 26, birthplace Bavaria. On familysearch.org, I found Magdalena Christ, baptized 30 Jan 1822, Parents-Georgii Jacobi Christ and Agnesiae Weiss, Georgius Petrus Christ, baptized 4 May 1824, Parents- Georgii Jacobi Christ and Agnesiae Weiss. I did not find Michael Christ listed in the 1850 census household. However, he was listed on familysearch.org as Michael Christ, baptized 6 June 1832, Parents-Geogii Jacobi Christ and Agnesiae Weiss. All three - Magdalena, Peter and Michael - were baptized at the Katholisch Kirche Eschbach, Bavaria. Could someone give me some aid as to what I need to do next. I am at a loss. Thanks.

Henry LEIDIG married Ellen SAYLOR in about 1853. Ellen was born about 1838. They had at least two children: Martin (born 1881) and Naomi (1883-1959). Naomi married Adam Leo CHRIST and had at least one son, Martin Joseph CHRIST (1907-1969) and Martin had a son, Bernard Martin CHRIST (1937-1977). All these family members lived in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. I am searching for the parents of Ellen SAYLOR. Her mother was definitely named Sophia and her father MIGHT have been Fredrick SEILER, but I have no proof. I am descended from Ellen's brother, James (1829-1872). Can anyone help me with these families?
