You’re thinking of southern Missouri, Florissant is right next to the city limits of St. Louis.

Unfortunately I do genealogy with the Florissant area being one of my focuses and there’s a lot of endogenous old Catholic families. Not as bad as the small Catholic towns in Lincoln and St. Charles County but a decent amount.

Don’t forget the Lutherans, too! My grandmother was from Ferguson, and her grandparents were cousins.

Not surprising. People who were born here, tend to not move out, especially the oldest generations. Florissant is very old city.
