My interest: 4-5-1-2-3 Also interested in court notices (chancery, probate, criminal, divorce, &c) In my case, I think I have worked out all the 1-2 items; there is a birth notice from about 1920 I should look for, and there are a few lost sheep whose death might have occurred in KC 1910-1930. However, I think recording this info in the mailing list archives will be a huge benefit to future researchers. Ordinarily marriage info would also be good, but there are good KC records available from the county (if only these were indexed on-line). What really would benefit me are any scraps of info that might explain what family members were doing in KC, 1880-1920. They were grain dealers, US government workers, a banker, a bar owner, a traveling salesman (the Helm families), and one character who might have been a farmer and/or a building contractor (Will Van Matre).
