Hi everyone, I am the county coordinator for Bates County and also subscribe to BATES-L. in hopes that I may be able to glean bits of Bates Co. information from the people who do research there. I don't have any research interest in the county and since I volunteer for 5 counties (it seems I'm always behind) I just can't afford to buy the reference books that are needed to answer the many questions that come to me. I would like to post one here in hopes that someone will know the answer: =================== I have been unable to locate the 1910 census for Butler, Bates Co, MO. I have searched the entire county census of 1910 for the town of Butler but cannot find it. Do you know where it can be found? Also, do you know where we can go in Butler to view old copies of March 1910 newspapers? We plan on visiting Butler in the next week. If any of you have an answer for this query I would certainly appreciate if you would email it to me. I am a firm believer that sharing is the only way to make progress when digging for our roots. I wish all of you good luck with your search. Forever Searchin Kay Griffin Snow
