G’day Fay in Florida, I have a copy of a Tome called the “Pioneers of the Bluestem Prairie published by the Riley Co Genealogical Society in KS. Unfortunately the name Pierre Louis Charles CLERC is not mentioned amongst the many Pioneers. Best Wishes from Don in Melbourne Australia Co-Moderator: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CampbellsAustralia Co-Moderator: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JohnstonAustralia Co-Moderator: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Irishancestorsgroup Ours: http://www.geocities.com/johnstonoz/ Co Administrator: Northern Ireland Genweb County Antrim http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirantri/ <Snip> Are there any local books written about the county history and it's citizens during the time period of 1887 - 1892? I am looking for Pierre Louis Charles CLERC, who immigrated from France in 1887 and lived in Kansas until 1892. The remainder of his years were spent in Jefferson County, MO, where he made a living 'making' , packaging and selling his products, such as stove polish. He did quite a business with poultry products - from feed to medications. Usually these types of things are documented in the county's history. If anyone can guide me as to where to find this information, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Kay, FL MehdiFakhar@aol.com <Unsnip> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
