I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs…frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I'm from Missouri; you've got to show me. -- William Duncan Vandiver, 1899 at a naval banquet in Philadelphia.

Useful Links for researching Missouri genealogy. (Please add your own favorites in the discussion thread)

I encourage the use of the Discussion Forum instead of the Comment Wall. The tags you add to discussion posts allow you to click on the link and see other posts within Missouri Genealogy with the same tag.

When creating tags in the Discussion Forum
  • If a tag has more than one word, "put it in quotes". This will create one tag.
  • Put surnames in ALL CAPS. This will differentiate surnames when they are the same as other potential tags. (e.g. JACKSON)
  • If you're using the name of a county as a tag, add the word 'county'. (e.g. "Jackson County").
  • As the Admin, I can add tags, but I can't edit tags the creator of the thread chose.

I am researching Lauderdales, Tyners, Shields, and Chaneys in the southwest of Missouri. Newton, McDonald counties primarily but my family has roots all over the state. Some of them came to Missouri because they were on their way to Indian Territory (Trail of Tears) and some came for the land. The Cherokees in my family came in the early 1830's and included the names of Lauderdale, Shields, and Tyner. My Chaneys came for the land and were in Cedar and Montgomery Counties in the early 1830's as well. I would be willing to discuss any mutual relatives with just about anyone.

Thanks

Does anyone know how I might reach Ted Roller? He was listed on a Barry County (from Purdy) look up page but the email was bounced back. He was a contributor to a research page on one of my ancestors.
Thanks so much!

I am researching the Alexander WALDEN family who were in Cass County, MO on the 1850 Census. From there they were on the 1860 and 1870 census in AR. Then they moved to Indian Territory. According to an application to the Dawes Commission statements, Alexander (christened General Alexander Walden) and Morning Walden moved back to MO to live with a daughter, died in 1889 and 1887 respectively, and are buried at Keytesville,Cheriton County, MO in a small cemetery on private property. Would like to find their resting place.

Hi All,
I am looking for information for my paternal Grandmother's parents. She is Hellena (Helen) Francsis Hennemann and was born in St. Louis. MO. My Great Grandfather was Frank HENNEMANN, born June 1841 (possibly in Danzig, Germany) and died in 1909 in Omega, IL.. He and a brother immigrated to the St Louis, MO area in 1864. He married Anna HORPOTSKI, (born 1849 in Missouri - 1932 in Alpha, IL), the 13th of June 1868 in St. Louis. They had 5 children: Maggie 14 Jun 1871 - 1895; Anna 1873 -abt 1880; Frank 20 Jun 1880 - ?; Henry Hennemann 1883 - ?; and Hellena Francis 23 Oct 1892 - June 1982. Both the HENNEMANN and HORPOTSKI lines dead end with Frank and Anna. I have found the family in the 1880 (in St. Louis, MO), 1900, and 1910 ( in IL) census. Any help furthering these two lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda
Comment by Phillip Marr on July 23, 2009 at 2:05pm
I am trying to find information about relatives in CLAY County. My great grandfather John Wesley Marr moved to that county about 1850 and left there in 1880. All his children were born in Clay County. His children who remained behind when he left are: Alice Annie Marr (married Berry Wade); James Berryman Marr (married Myrtle Duncan) and Virginia Motie Marr (married Daniel Lewis). John also left three daughters buried in Clay County: Emily 1866-68); Helen (1868-76); and Georgie (1872-74). If anyone has information about these people and/or if anyone is related to them I would like very much to hear from you. I'm also wondering if anyone is taking pictures of headstones in Clay County cemeteries. Unfortunately I don't know where any of my relatives are buried. That you for any consideration. Phillip.
