FAQs
Basic Questions
I am new to genealogy and would like
to know where to get started in Laclede County? Welcome to
the fascinating world of genealogy! It's great that you're
starting your research in Laclede County. Here are some steps
and resources to help you begin your journey:
1. Begin
with yourself and work backward. Talk to your living
relatives—parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles—and ask them
for names, dates, places, and stories. Gather any
documents you already have, such as birth certificates, marriage
licenses, obituaries, and family photos. These are your most
valuable primary sources.
2. Check out the USGenWeb
Archives, Missouri and other online websites like FamilySearch,
Ancestry, and WikiTree
3. Contact the local Genealogical
Societies, like
Laclede Genealogical Society, local libraries online
libraries like the
National Archive in St. Louis, cemeteries and funeral homes.

I don't see XXX church or cemetery
on your list?
You don't see the cemetery on the list most
likely because it hasn't been added yet. Cemetery and church
lists are often compiled by volunteers, and it's easy for some
to be missed, especially if they are small, historic, or no
longer in use
The pictures are so tiny, I can't see them.
They are "thumbnail" pictures. Click on the picture for a
larger view. I don't have a gallery up yet as I'm recreating all
the pages but in the coming weeks I will be adding profiles of
early settlers and hopefully photos. Also, you might be
able to zoom in on the picture using your web browser's built-in
zoom function (often by holding down the Ctrl
key and pressing the + key on your keyboard)
How do I submit
information to you?
You can type the information in an
email to me or attach a document (.doc, .txt) to the email.
Most genealogy websites, especially those run by volunteers
(like Laclede County),include at a minimum, their contact info
in the footer. Please attach a document to your e-mail (e.g. .doc or
.txt) to my
e-mail or once a county coordinator adopts this county, to
them.
Specific People:
I am looking for information about
XXX.
Unfortunately, if you don't see it on the site then
I don't currently have any information about it. I do not live in this
county or the State of Missouri (however, I will be relocating
back to St. Louis), so am unable to check other resources except
online. You
can also provide me with additional information in case I can try and research for you.
Can you
send me a marriage license (or birth certificate, death
certificate, court document) for my ancestor?
I'm sorry,
but I cannot directly send you legal documents like a marriage
license, birth certificate, or death certificate for your
ancestor. These are confidential records, and access to them is
restricted by law to protect privacy. Please check Vital
Records for ways to get those documents.
Can you
look some information up for me?
I'm a resource for you
but the only way that I can offer assistance is online, if you
send me the pertinent info and the person you're looking for I
will do my best to assist you.
We all appreciate your
