Hi List, I have a problem and I hope the wonderful soul who bailed me out of a similar problem a year or so ago is still in fine form. William Griffith, born at Parkville, Platte county MO c1844 married Susan M. ____. Their marriage record is not in Platte County. In 1870 they were living in Platte county and Susan was age 18. This suggests they were married c1868-1869. I know from experience a number of people crossed the river from Platte county to marry in Kansas. I'm hoping someone can help me locate the marriage of this couple. Many thanks, Bill Hunter

What are the chances That someone on this list might be related to Hiram G. Parker? I'd like to locate his obit. It would be appreciated if someone would look it up for me, but better if a descendant contacted me. Here's a small portion of what I have on this Parker family: Hiram G.

Parker, Jr. b: 1916 . He was a guard at Leveanworth for years, but became an attorney. I think his obit would be an interesting read, and possibly give leads to further this reasearch.
