Have you got Irish ancestors who settled in (or spent a considerable amount of time in) St. Louis? You do! If you go to Google Books and do the following search, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised:
Irish surnames St. Louis Missouri
Some of the books listed are Full View, meaning the book is there online and full-text for you to enjoy. Limited Preview means a fairly generous sampling of pages is available online for you to make use of. Snippet View means just what you probably think it does-- very little of the book is available online.
Note: It’s probably already occurred to you, but I’ll mention it anyway-- this Google Books search tip also works for other nationalities. For example:
German surnames St. Louis Missouri
French surnames St. Louis Missouri
As you probably also guessed, it also works with other localities. For example:
German surnames Chicago Illinois
Irish surnames Chicago Illinois
Happy hunting!
