Since the county clerk has the birth records starting in 1888-1901 that doesn't do you any good. One suggestion is that you order through interlibrary loan with your public library the newspapers from the Kansas State Historical Society. I did and was able to keep them for three weeks. It was all free even the shipping, but if there is a charge it is only a few dollars. They said they were going to charge me $4.95 but my library said they would pay for it. All it cost me every night was for my copies I made. This is the link for Rooks County newspapers. http://www.kshs.org/library/search.php?city=&title=&county=RO&state=KS&begyr=1880&endyr=1882&arrange=title&submit=SEARCH -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Does anyone happen know if a city/county directory exists, or if any other type of publications were available during 1887-1892 such as a farm gazette or business index?  Would someone be able to check those types of records for the surname CLERC for me?  'Yeahs' and 'neahs' are both important to me. In addition, I'm looking for a CLERC marriage and divorce/or wife's death notice during this same time period. And his Declaration of Intention or Naturalization Application.  (Citizenship was filed/granted in Jefferson County Sept 1892) These type of fees were often published in the local newspaper under the Court column.  Pierre Louis Charles CLERC's 1925 Jefferson County, MO obituary reads that he was a well educated Frenchman; immigrated from France; was from an affluential family; and lived in Kansas prior to moving to Jefferson County, MO. Unfortunately it does not explain where he lived in Kansas and 1887-1892 is a poor time frame to try to find a needle in a haystack... He has not turned up in any indexed listing of the 1885 State Kansas Census records (tho I don't anticipate finding him earlier than 1887).  Numerous census records list his immigration year as 1887, and that time period is in agreement with the citizenship papers.  Per the History of Jefferson County, MO, by Litton, it states that Pierre CLERC made and sold an 'excellent stove polish' out of his home.  This 'means' of making a living was something he did in the 1890's (based on his residence at that time vs. his later residence listed in the land/tax records for Hillsboro Poultry Farms). **************************************************** I'm hoping local documentation might be found mentioning an earlier involvement in making/selling this stove polish prior to moving to Jefferson County, MO. ***************************************************** Other info: Per the 1900 - 1926 Jeffco county newspapers on microfilm, there were 6 CLERC products that he manufactured/sold at his 'factory' (called Hillsboro Poultry Farms): Clerc's Specific Clerc's Clerc's Chicken-Lice Killer Clerc's Egg Producer Clerc's Chicken Food Clerc's Condition Powders Clerc's Disinfectant Insect Powder ***************************************************** Citizenship/Naturalization/Declaration of Intent: ***************************************************** His citizenship record was applied for (exact date unknown, but at least 2 years prior to...) and granted Sept 18, 1892, in Jefferson County, MO.  Julius DuFOUR and Eugene HEYLIGERS (Heilgers?) were witnesses.  Julius Dufour, born 1844, is listed in various county census records: 1860 (STE GENEVIEVE, MO), 1870 (Randolph County, IL), (1880/1900 - ?) and 1910-20 (STE GENEVIEVE, MO); and a Eugene HEILGER is listed under property transfers in Jefferson County, MO (1910, I believe). I've been unable to find the naturalization record or declaration of intent for Pierre CLERC, which would help provide answers as to CLERC's birthtown or anyone he may have immigrated with. His 'German' brother-in-law, Albert Joseph UMHOEFER's, Declaration of Intention was recorded in St. Louis, MO, but CLERC's isn't there.  ****************************************************** Marriage/Wife's Death Notice or Divorce Notice : ****************************************************** It seems that Pierre CLERC was married prior to his Jefferson County marriage in 1892; whether that first marriage ended in death or divorce, I'm not sure.  There could be a death notice for his first wife during this time period or a divorce notice in the locally published court records (1887-1892).  (His second marriage (mid-1892) to Anna UMHOEFER ended in a divorce (denied in Jeffco, but later a change of venue was granted to St. Genevieve, MO).  A week after the divorce was granted (1920) in St. Genevieve, he remarried in Jefferson County.) I've been searching for these missing CLERC records for 7 years -and counting! Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I have several books for Jefferson County and will be happy to reciprocate the kindness with any lookups in that area. Since I'm not a regular subscriber to this board, please email me directly at: MehdiFakhar@aol.com Thank You for helping!  -Kay Clerc-Fakhar, FL

Museum@ruraltel.net This is the museum of Rooks Co. Kansas and they have a lot of knowledge about books, newspapers, etc. These people are very active researchers for such a small place. Email them and ask if there are any directories of the county for the time period you are looking for. I did not remember coming across any when I was there in June but they would know best. the Certificates of Intent and Naturalization Papers for Rooks Co. are on line and I did not see any with the name Clerc. Also, the index for marriages from 1874-1903 are also there and no Clerc. http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/rooks/index.html Good Luck, Brenda Reeder Rooks Co.
