Eleanora, My name is Denise Graves and I have received your email asking for help. I have found a lot of my relatives at the web site below. I have bee searching for my ancestors for about 6 months and have gotten all the way to my sixth and seventh generations on my mothers side and my fathers side so I am pretty pleased. I will continue to send you helpful sites if you would like. I have found it is better to go to sites that support States instead of narrowing sites to cities or counties they usually work better. Start here go to all the categories at the top it has a search database that you put in the name and it gives you birth or death info. _http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/resources.asp_ (http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/resources.asp)
