Hello. The St. Charles County (MO) Genealogical Society is sponsoring it's third annual bus trip to the Allen County Public Library August 21-25, 2002. This trip is co-sponsored by St. Charles Community College. I am the trip genealogist and will be providing assistance to trip goes before and during the trip. It is also possible to drive yourself for a lower fee. More information is available at http://www.rootdig.com/acpltrip. html Please ask me questions off the list. I'm looking for any references to bushwackers in Chariton County, Missouri, as well. My wife's ancestor was supposedly killed by bushwackers in Chariton CO. in the 1860s. Thanks.
