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 in search for the family of my Great-Grandmother. KATHERINE MARIE YODER. I believe she was from the Cape Girardeau County to St Francois County area. She was born in 1834. She married DANIEL SMITH.

My family comes from Knox Co, Greene Co, Scotland Co, and has many surnames. My maternal grandmother is a Fleak from Knox Co, her mother is a Wood from Knox and Clark Co. I have photo's of some of my ancestors, I have ample information on this side of my family, but have some area's in question. Somehow we are related to the Chadwick's, Palmer and Dunn families. Have some info on them but not enough to say yes or no. Have photo that says, Mary Ellen Morey, Grandma Chadwick, and Rosa Wood. Rosa is my gr gr grandmother, her maiden name was Wheelen, don't have much on that line either. Any information on this family would be helpful, will share what I have.

I was just visiting in Johnson County, Missouri a couple weeks ago, and while I was there, I photographed all the graves in the Lundy Cemetery near Elm, Johnson, Missouri.

Hi Christine-
If you have specific brick walls maybe you can post them one at a time in the discussion area so we can help you with them?
