Family Lines

Welcome to the von Behren Genealogy website.  Listed below are the different branches that have 
settled in the USA and that I have discovered in my researching.  

Email me at Susan@vonbehren.org  

I've been researching my family for about 20 years.  My family came to St. Louis, MO 
then moved to Strasburg, IL then back to St. Louis, MO were I was born. I now reside in Memphis, TN.    

While trying to find my Great, Great Grandfather's brothers I discovered that several different branches settled 
in St. Louis and in other areas in the USA.  

Take a look around and see if you can find your branch of the von Behren clan. The different family lines are sorted 
by State and then county/city.  Feel free to email me, with any questions, or if you need help in locating your branch of 
the family.  You might have the missing information on your family that will help me connect to other branches. 

I have lots more information then is shown below.  Email me and we can exchange information.  

If your wondering what happened to the website. . . my computer crashed.  I lost all my email addresses for the families below. 
Please email me and I will add you back as the contact person.  Thank you.
