This box consists mainly of hand copied vital records including census, marriage, and death records. Three of the census sets were moved to the downstairs research areas because the Library at this time does not have copies of these records. As soon as copies are purchased the following records will be moved back to the collection:
  • 1850 St. Clair County, Missouri Census
  • 1850 Dallas County, Missouri Census
  • 1860 Dade County, Missouri Census
