It's been awhile since I've explained my posting methods, so I thought I'd do it now. I post articles and obituaries that involve people from Jackson County (MO) on the Jackson County Message Board. These message are automatically sent to the Jackson County Mailing List. I post articles and obituaries that involve people from Wyandotte County (KS) on the Wyandotte County Message Board. These message are automatically sent to the Wyandotte County Mailing List. Because some families in the area lived on both sides of the State line, I will occasionally post a Missouri item on the Wyandotte County Mailing List and post a Kansas item on the Jackson County Mailing List. If you want to see all my posting (Missouri & Kansas), you have two options: 1. Be a member of the Kansas City Mailing List, where I post 100% of my items. 2. Be a member of the Wyandotte County & the Jackson County Mailing Lists. To join the Kansas City Mailing List, go to: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/usa/MO/jackson.html#KansasCity If you have any questions, you can contact me direct at: JohnOBrien@kc.rr.com John Kansas City, MO

Can you suggest who i might contact to find information on the following : - Obituary (if any existed) of when my GG died - How I would find out what the current street name is for the street listed for her at the time of her death - Then maps of the area from that time Any help you could provide on direction would be appreciated.

Arlene, here are my answers to your questions and I invite other's on the list to respond too: 1. Obituary (if any existed) of when my GG died. Answer: generally speaking, you will need the complete death date to obtain an obituary. If you have the date, you can contact the Mid-Continent Library in Independence, Mo., and they will do a search. They will need your mailing address to send you a copy if one is found. The library's email address is: ge@mcpl.lib.mo.us 2. How I would find out what the current street name is for the street listed for her at the time of her death. Answer: What is the street name listed. If you would have included it in your note, someone on this List may know the answer. I'm not positive but I think the Wyandotte Historical Museum may be able to help. Here is the Museum's link that has contact numbers: http://www.wycokck.org/dept.aspx?id=770&menu_id=1012 3. Then maps of the area from that time Answer: I think the Muslim is your best bet. I hope this has been helpful.

Thank you so much I will try the optioins you gave me... I was able to get some information from the government office - so I do have her date of death and the it lists the address of her 'usual residence' ---- it states 401 Kansas Avenue. She died September 8, 1906 so that is the time period that this was the street name. If anyone knows any info about this area at the time -- I would be so appreciative. Thank you again.
