The University of Missouri offers an online Digital Library, featuring the 1930 plat book for several counties. A cousin sent me the following web address. I was able to view the location of the farm which belonged to the step father of my Great-grandfather. It can be viewed at _http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?sid=f3459684a363774 5f001a85af5213fda;med=1;q1=platic;rgn1=platic_all;c=platic;evl=full-image;qual ity=1;view=entry;subview=detail;lasttype=boolean;cc=platic;entryid=x-88;viewid =PLA-ST.GENEVIEVE-08.TIF;start=81;resnum=88_ (http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?sid=f3459684a3637745f001a85af5213fda;med=1;q1=platic ;rgn1=platic_all;c=platic;evl=full-image;quality=1;view=entry;subview=detail;l asttype=boolean;cc=platic;entryid=x-88;viewid=PLA-ST.GENEVIEVE-08.TIF;start=81 ;resnum=88) Does anyone know if a similar feature is available for Effingham County.
